Hello there,
I am having some difficulties installing a wireless usb adapter on Fedora 12. the usb adapter is: Netgear WN111v2 Wireless-N USB adapter and it has the chipset: Atheros AR9100AP. I did a intensive search on the web but i don't know how to go further. These are the steps i've tried.
I installed NdisWrapper and tried the following:
[root@vortex wn111v2]# ndiswrapper -i arusb_xp.inf
installing arusb_xp ...
[root@vortex wn111v2]# ndiswrapper -l
arusb_xp : driver installed
device (0846:9001) present (alternate driver: ar9170usb)
[root@vortex wn111v2]# ndiswrapper -m
adding "alias wlan0 ndiswrapper" to /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper ...
[root@vortex wn111v2]# ndiswrapper -ma
module configuration information is stored in /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper
[root@vortex wn111v2]# ndiswrapper -mi
module configuration information is stored in /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper
[root@vortex wn111v2]# iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
virbr0 no wireless extensions.

[root@vortex wn111v2]# ndiswrapper -l

arusb_xp : driver installed

But i really have no clue what to do further.
I also found this site, which seems to have all the answers:
http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/ar9170
But i have no idea how it works. I copied all the firmware files to right directory. But what is the next step?
Probably i am trying to use two methods for the same goal. Only one is needed, so i hope anyone can guide me the right way
Thanks in advance!
