I have just jumped into the world of networking. I have a Netgear MA 111 wireless which is working perfectly with my dual boot computer. Windows XP (which I desperately want to get rid of ) and Mandrake 10.

I've browsed through several of the questions here and in the Newbie area in an attempt to find information regarding finding a Linux driver for the Netgear MA111, but either I am much too naive and unlearned to understand it all, or am just missing it.

I need to know which driver I need to make this work, and some basic instructions as to how to install and configure the driver.
Once I get my system up and working properly on the internet via the wireless router, I can finally say "bloody farewell" to Microsoft Windows.


background info:
not too bad with microsoft tasks............built my own computer, but know nothing about programing and as a result have a lot of difficulty understanding all the instructions with Linux, such as compiling, unpackaging, etc.
Asus motherboard with Amdata CPU
Mandrake 10 OS


would be nice to get "Flash" working properly with Linux also. I had unsuccessful attempts at getting Flash to work previously when I had Red Hat 9 on my system.

Your card is listed here : http://www.linux-wlan.org/docs/wlan_adapters.html.gz

The wlan-ng driver should work with it. I've never used that driver so I can't offer any specific advice.

Good Luck!
