Where's driver for Netgear HA501 wireless adapter?
Hi there
I have been trying to look for the driver for the Netgear HA501 54Mbps 802.11a wireless network adapter. I can't find it on the Netgear site which is already weird as hell and can't find it on google either.
I am using Red Hat Linux . Does anyone know where I could find a suitable driver for this card. I guess I could try ANY driver for a Netgear wireless PCMCIA card
Sorry, I should have mentioned in the original post that I have already tried the driver from that site and it doesn't work for Red Hat 9 for some reason.
Apparently, the project on that site probably ended some time in May 2003 and hasn't been updated somehow
If anyone knows of a better or newer driver, please tell me where I can find it. Thanks!
I think the madwifi solution looks promising but the rpms just wouldn't install on my Red Hat 9 which has kernel 2.6.8.1 . When I try to rpm for instance madwifi-0.9.3.1-10.rh9.at.i386.rpm , this error would appear :
warning: madwifi-0.9.3.1-10.rh9.at.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 66534c2b
error: Failed dependencies:
kernel-module-madwifi-0.9.3.1-10.rh9.at is needed by madwifi-0.9.3.1-10.rh9.at
The problem here is that I can't find kernel-module-madwifi-0.9.3.1-10.rh9.at anywhere on google. Is there another rpm that I need to find and install? I picked the newest rpm from http://atrpms.net/dist/rh9/madwifi/
Please help
Thanks

I am using a 2.6.8.1 kernel which is one of the newest, and in menuconfig, I went into Device Drivers => Newtork Device Support => Wireless LAN(non-hamradio) , but I do not see the term "Wi-Fi" mentioned anywhere. Is there a specific place it should be for the 2.6.8.1 kernel ?
