Question Netgear WG111v3 Drivers, and Updated Linux version for an i686


Hey, I have just recently purchased a Netgear WG111v3 wireless usb adapter but I cannot find any drivers to work on Linux, its almost like they dont exist. Also, I need to update the version on my dinosaur on which I am learning linux but its an i686 and I cant find a version that is compatable with it. Anything would be appreciated.
Thanks Sam.

That's because they don't. You will have to use ndiswrapper to get this device to work. The first search result for "Netgear WG111v3 linux" explains how to extract the Windows driver and install it.

As for a distribution, i686 is a regular PC. Any Linux distribution will run on it.
