64-bit Netgear WG111v2?


Has anyone got their Netgear WG111v2 working on 64-bit? I'm running Suse10 64-bit and I can't seem to get any driver to work with ndiswrapper. I tried realtek drivers since that seems to have worked for some people, but I think they were running 32-bit.

One needs the 64-bit Windows driver if the OS and ndiswrapper are 64-bit.

Netgear is also very bad with the WG111v2 USB interface, which one do you have??? Some use a prism chipset(usbid: 0846:4240) and some have a realtek chipset(usbid: 0846:6a00).

Use the command (with the USB plugged in) to find out: /sbin/lsusb

If you have a prism device then all you need is the firmware; http://prism54.org/fullmac.html

If it is a realtek then get the Windows 64-bit driver from Realtek for ndiswrapper;
http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/...Downloads=true

Or get the source for Linux from the realtek site listed above and build your own Linux driver.

No that didn't work for me. I also tried every driver on the ndiswrapper wiki page that was close to my device. I guess I'll just remove what I have and install 32 bit and see if that works.
