Problem when configuring NDISWRAPPER
I'm trying to setup an internet connection with my Netgear WG111v1 wireless USB Adapter. I've already added its drivers to NDISWRAPPER, and am in the process of configuring the adapter. The instructions I found on the internet tell me to run
iwconfig eth0 ESSID <network name here> When I run that, I get an error telling me that said operation could not be configured... do you know of any other way to configure this in Slackware? |
Can anybody help me with this?
|
I found the cause:
ndiswrapper isn't detecting that my Netgear adapter belongs to the driver! When I go to the info center, I see a Netgear WG111 on USB 5, but that's it, apparently ndiswrapper doesn't detect it as beloinging to the driver. Anyone know how I can tell it? |
Anyone? Please? Getting desperate over here!

I had a similar problem using Fedora Core 4.
For my solution, the problem was that the driver was incorrect. I downloaded the latest Windoze driver from the netgear site. http://kbserver.netgear.com/products/wg111v1.asp When you unzip the driver, there are actually 2 types listed. To see which version you need, I used >less /proc/bus/usb/devices and found the listing for WG111 the important line is the Vendor= and ProdID= numbers. Once I had the correct drivers (get the ndis drivers from the unzipped file), I followed the ndiswrapper directions. When you complete those steps you should have a directory /etc/ndiswrapper/netwg111 that will have entries 0846:4220.F.conf 0846:4240.F.conf netwg111.inf wg111nd5 Hope this helps. |
