1. Card: Netgear WG111 - 802.11g Wireless USB2.0 Adapter
- Chipset: Prism54 (Intersil 3886 and NetChip NET2280)
- usbid: 0846:4220
- Driver: Netgear windows driver Version: Netgear, Inc.,03/03/2004,
1.0.8.4 from http://www.Netgear.com <http://www.netgear.com/>
- Other: Works well. To get the driver, use cabextract on the .exe,
then unshield on the data1.cab. WPA-PSK TKIP worked with wpa-supplicant
0.2.4. Used kernel SuSE 2.6.5-7.104-default. The driver locked the
machine when connected to an OHCI controller, but worked fine
with EHCI, on
a SiS 650 chipset. TCP throughput was apx 7Mbps, which is low,
but CPU usage
was not maxed out as it is under windows XP on test machine.
ndiswrapper is
CVS top of tree from 23rd August 2004. There is a native driver for
Prism54 that is working on USB support. View its status at Prism54.org As
same as you read above, but I use Fedora 3 with Kernel 2.6.11-14. Use
ndiswrapper version 1.1 from 5rd March 2005. I work with beta-driver from
Netgear (WG111 SW1-2 Beta 13) in managed mode with no
encryption. Encryction
(WEP) doesn't work on my machine (Gericom X5 Force) yet, but I am still
working on it. Try to configure via system-config-network (the
fedora gui)
with hotplugd started, so you can plug in and work. Attention!!! don't
activate the item "active on boot" because hotplug doesn't run
at boot-time.
http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/joomla/
should try it, it worked for my usb thingy.
