Plug WG111 and type lsusb to verify hardware is plugged. You should get something like:Bus 003 Device 002: ID 0000:0000 NetGear, Inc. WG111 WiFi (v2) Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 On root shell, type: apt-get install module-assistant m-a prepare m-a a-i ndiswrapper modprobe ndiswrapper
Now ndiswrapper module is loaded. (if you got a FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found fatal error, repeat these steps) If interface is successfully modprobed, then type
update-modules
To create ndiswrapper module config files. Add
ndiswrapper
to /etc/modules to load this module on boot. apt-get install wlassistant ndisgtk ndiswrapper-utilsInstall some utilities to configure wireless interface. Run ndisgtk (or type ndiswrapper -i /media/cdrom0/ndis5/netwginf, where cdrom0 is Netgear driver disc) Select Netgear driver from CD-ROM (netwginf): it’ll be copied automatically to /etc/ndiswrapper Copy other files under /media/cdrom0/ndis5 in /etc/ndiswrapper/netwg111/ If interface is not detected, type ndiswrapper -m to write modprobe config files for it. Use gksu network-admin or gksu wlassistant to configure your wireless connection.
