Don't know how to set up WG111 usb wireless on mandriva 2006
I have just installed Manddriva 2006, everything seemed to recognize fine but for some reason I can't get my netgear wg111 wireless usb adapter to work correctly. If I go into the computer setup, and look at my hardware, I see the adapter under other devices, but it won't list it in the network devices. I tried to install the driver by using the network setup and then I told it to install a windows driver using ndiswrapper, but it didn't seem to work correctly. I just don't know what to do or how to go about trouble shooting this. I am very much a newbie, Thanks for your help.

Did you figure out how to get it working?
I'm having trouble installing it myself. My setup is as follows: HP pavilion ze4300 laptop Mandiva 2006 Netgear WG111T Wireless USB Adator I tried installing the drivers using ndiswrapper via the control center, but it kept on saying there's no device available. So, I opened up my root terminal window, and started doing it from there. Below is what I got sofar: Quote:

- delete /etc/ndiswrapper files and directory - Take exactly the same driver as listed per wiki of ndiswrapper (or else try with inf file supplied by manufacturer) - Install from source and compile the latest version of ndiswrapper (read the readme about removing any previous version) if this does not work downgrade to known working version - proceed with [root@Legolas WG111T_GR V1.2]# ndiswrapper -i athfmwdl.inf [root@Legolas WG111T_GR V1.2]# ndiswrapper -i netwg11t.inf you should need only 1 of these # ndiswrapper -l ndiswrapper -m [root@Legolas WG111T_GR V1.2]# modprobe ndiswrapper then test network, configure interface, WEP, route etc A piece of advice, run in a separate terminal tail -f /var/log/syslog That should get you going |
