Hey, thats nice.
Can you say me what versions of ndiswrapper do you use and which driver from netgear?? Because my problem was that when I load ndiswrapper module. All works fine for at least 10 minutes and then I got a kernel freeze :-( and I don't know where it cames from because I get no error message or log entry.

The problem is in how the 2.4.31 kernel handles the usb calls. (i'm guessing you are using 2.4.31, because thats what i used)

I'm having the same kernel freeze problem.
Using ndiswrapper and netgear driver for the wg111v2.
Can someone help me through the process of changing my kernel to one that allows me to use the wireless without the freeze?

Thanks in advance for any help.
Cheers,
Shaun

Hello,
i think the problem is not the kernel itself. But the driver Version of ndiswrapper. I've now the wg111 chip running for over one year and no problems at all. I am using driver version 1.23 and a custom Kernel 2.6.18. If we should help you, you must post some information. What kernel do you use, which distribution of Linux, driver version of ndiswrapper, drier version of windows driver.
Best Regards Steffen

Thanks for the quick reply.
I got it working in linux mint bianca by changing my router to wpa instead of wep.
I;ve been battling with this stuff for a few weeks now, who'd have thought that by increasing the complexity of security the light would turn on?!?!

Cheerio guys!
