In order to help, we need a little more information.
What version of ndiswrapper did you use?
What version Netgear WG511 card is this? There are multiple versions of this card, with 3 different chipsets. Knowing the version will help a good deal in dteremining if the card can be run via ndiswrapper.
Did you try installing the Windows XP drivers for the correct version of the card?
Ddi ndiswrapper compile without any errors? I think that Linspire comes with the kernel headers that are needed to properly compile ndiswrapper.
You may also have more luck on the Linspire support forum. I know a bunch of the guys there can give you a lot of information about wireless NIC cards and Linspire.
