I've checked everything and the WG511v2 is still not lighting up and it
isn't showing as a network card, it is detected when plugged in:

Ah, this explains it everything. You are unfortunately a victim of Netgear's stupid
naming scam. The situation is explained at http://daemonizer.de/prism54/wg511/ 
The upshot is: there are two WG511 v2 versions, but only the first v2 works with
p54. The second one needs a driver from marvell.
