LinuxQuestions.org - Drivers for Netgear MA111

I'm running kernel 2.6.19.1 and Slackware 11. I got a new wireless card USB-based device: Netgear MA111 (prism2 chipset, 80211b support). I downloaded linux-wlan-ng-0.2.7 from linux-wlan.com, compiled and installed it. Then I simply followed the README from linux-wlan-ng-0.2.27:

Added 'alias wlan0 prism2_usb' to /etc/modprobe.conf
Added 'modprobe prism2_usb' to /etc/rc.d/rc.modules

When I run 'wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_ifstate ifstate=enable', I get the following:

Code:

wlanctl-ng: No such device

Note: driver modules load just fine on the boot, but I can't bring up wlan0 interface. I tried uncommenting lines in /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf to assign wlan0 and stuff, but still no luck. Here are some stats:
