Post Netgear WG111T USB device in Suse 9.2


Having problems getting my WG111T device to work under Suse 9.2
It doesn't show up in iwconfig, although i can get some device information from the suse "device manager".
Read an earlier thread "Which USB WIFI to buy" where the WG111 was mentioned being compatible with the prism54.org driver, with special care taken to point out that it was not compatible with WG111T.
Been trying to get it to work for three days now, so i am beginning to get a bit frustrated..

WG111T ( post #3)

http://linux.cergynux.net/Wifi_Netgear_Linux.htm

This link says that there is no driver for Linux or FreeBSD for this device yet,

NDIS wrapper must be used,

I tried,
under FreeBSD 5.3
compiled ok, but couldnt load the module,
i suspect ar5523.bin to be loaded as well in order to make it work

[ATHER.CopyFiles.nt]
wg11tnd5.sys,,,2
ar5523.bin,,,2

ndiscvt -i netwg11t.inf -s wg11tnd5.sys -f ar5523.bin -o ndis_driver_data.h
then
make && make install

IF anyone succeded please reply....

Drivers....

Try dmesg and see what info it will give you.

Netgear may have changed the chipset without changing the model name. This is actually quite common with D-Link.

I reinstalled openSUSE yesterday and figured out how to get my WG111T working. Here's how:

1. Open up GNOME Terminal or Konsole and type: sudo zypper install kernel-default. This will install a default kernel other than the regular PAE kernel.

2. Reboot and you should have an extra kernel entry like "openSUSE 11.1 -- kernel_version (default). Highlight it and press enter. Login and open up a terminal again.

3. Type sudo zypper install kernel-source gcc. This will get the necessary tools to build ndiswrapper against your new kernel.

4. After the installation is complete, get the ndiswrapper tarball from it's sourceforge website. I recommend getting 1.54 (the latest version) because it works flawlessly while compiling. Extract the tarball to a temporary location.

5. Open a terminal again and go to the ndiswrapper directory where you extracted the tarball. Type make. This will compile ndiswrapper. After you get dropped back to "username@hostname:-", type "make install". This will install ndiswrapper.

6. Login as root by typing "su -". Enter your password. Type ndiswrapper. If you get the program's options list, ndiswrapper has been successfully installed.

7. Get your wireless card's drivers from a CD or online. You need the files that end in .inf.

8. Plug in your wireless card and type: "ndiswrapper -i drivername.inf". This instals the driver for your wireless card. Check to make sure that it has really been installed by typing: "ndiswrapper -l". It should show up with something like:

driver netwg11t.inf installed
<device present 123:344>

9. Type: "ndiswrapper -m".

10. Type: "modprobe ndiswrapper". This should activate your wireless card. You will see it's light come on (if any). You can now configure your wireless card the normal way with YaST or with NetworkManager.
