I have a Netgear USB adaptor which came free with my router. It didn't work on Edgy or Feisty but I thought I'd try it for on Gusty just for the sake of it and it worked really well! I love pleasant surprises like this. It's great for when my wireless occasionally stops working on my Dell laptop.

[ubuntu-uk] Netgear Pci Adapter
Hi to the group, I have written to the group a few times about the Netgear PCI adapter. I worked really hard to install this card with Ubuntu but to no avail. I researched forums, posted questions. I also did a clean install after mixing up the software. The only distro I found that worked with the card and was easy to configure was Mandriva. I am not really keen on Mandriva and went back to Ubuntu. I will use it without the internet. Today I found a Wifi USB dongle lying in a draw and thought "why not plug it in" Ubuntu found it and configured it. In a matter of minutes I was on line and sorting out the email and listening to the Archers. With XP the connection was weak, now with the usb dongle signal strength is about 95% I am going to download all the repositories later, can you tell I am pleased ?Happy days John-- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/

There is a very fine piece of software called ndisgtk which will give you a nice gui to install the drivers with. You might need a .sys file with the .ini. When you install the driver with ndiswrapper, do ndiswrapper -l l and let us know what it says :-) -Matt Daubney -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
[ubuntu-uk] Netgear PCI adapter
Hi to the group. I posted to the group a couple of weeks ago about wi-fi and Ubuntu installation. I have an AMD 1100 mhz K7 Athlon processor 60 hard drive Maxtor Dual boot with Windows The board is Amercan Mega trends NVIDIA Gforce 4mx4000 graphics card I am using Gutsy Gibbon and trying to install Netgear WG311 v3 pci adapter. I install ndiswrapper through the package manager and it shows it is installed, I have tried various ways of installing the WG311 v3.ini file Ubuntu says it is installed but says it is the wrong driver. If I drag ndiswrapper from a cd onto the desktop and then extract it, what do I type to install it ? my problem is wrapping ndiswrapper round the .ini file.I have installed ndiswrapper. I then do not know the syntax for installing the WGv3.ini file into the driver folder. Everything I type is wrong or not found even when I verify installation with ndiswrapper - the driver is not shown. I have then done lshw -C network it the responsds with *-network UNCLAIMED description: ethernet controller product: 88w 8335 [LIBERTAS] 802.11b/g Wireless Vendor:Marvell Technology group Ltd Physical ID: 11 Bus info [EMAIL PROTECTED]:00:11.0 Version 03 Width: 32 bits Clock: 66 mhz Capabilities: Bus master cap_list Configuration: latency =64 I am comfortable installing packages, the problem is installing from the cd drive and the path required to install. Ndiswrapper is on a cd with the latest drivers for the pci adapter.
