Hey all i am having problems with my machine (duh)
i am trying to get my Netgear ma101 to work with my gentoo machine i have it hooked up to an XP machine and XP is sharing the Internet but... this way linux cannot detect any machine besides itself and the XP machine. I have tried ndiswrapper but my device is not supported the device has power (which from other not so good linux experiences is good) HELP!!!!

So your connection looks like this:
linux ----- XP ---- internet

Then you need to set up ICS.

What's ICS (intermediate coronary syndrome??)?

well i don't want to connect through windows (unless i can get windows to send very good smb information to linux(Right now i cannot see any other computer in linux but the xp machine bummer))that's what i'm doing now

So you don't want to go through the windows box. Does it mean you're trying to do something like this now:

linux======
..................... router ==== internet
xp=======

Is your problem you can't find the router?

ok here' s the deal i want my XP machine and my gentoo machine to use different wireless adapters and connect to the router linux doesnot detect the device (or i do not know how to accesss it) but i can currently emerge/download anything you need me to.
