That's amazing news :)
I'm glad too about your great success, keep the path of freedom for
your/our own sake ;)
Oh, can you remove the non-free one or turn it off in the bios? My
thinkpad will give me trouble if I have my internal wifi turned on in
the bios even though there are no free-software drivers for it.

It should work. I have the version 2 of that USB thing. The light wont' go
on unless networking is enabled (at least on v2). Lets go through the basics
of diagnostics.
1st. Do you have another computer you could test it on? If it works on
another computer it isn't a dud unit.

Really weird. The owner of the other laptop won't let you test it on
that laptop?

I have no other computers to test the thing with right now.
For some reason, I can take a screenshot by pressing the prtsc button, BUT
when I click the applet to show you guys, it then will NOT let me take a
picture. Weird, huh?
What I can say is that YES, I expected to get exactly what
You can use the take screenshot application in the Accessories menu and put a
timer to take a screenshot (take screenshot after 10 seconds or so)
Sorry I don't seen any screenshots. you may have to link to them. You can
upload them to imageshack or something.
Are you sure that you turned the other card off in the bios? Have you
turned it back on?

I won't give up, thanks a lot for the moral support, and let's keep HACKING!
Perhaps we will gain new insights...

Have you modified the any network manager config file, i vaguely recall
that this happened to me several years ago, and when i disable one line,
it got back to enable the Network Manager Applet on the desktop bar and
choose between networks.
My 2 cents...

I have the same dongle and got it to work only when the internal wireless was
enabled. Switching on wireless was done on my laptops via a hotkey or a
switch. The light should be on when the dongle is activated.
I just confirmed that the embedded WLAN is DISABLED in the BIOS along with
wake from lan whatever that is...
I am suspicious though, because even with that option, the wifi led is still
on although it is orange meaning not on...
I will post that diagnostic data Sirgrant requested later...
You may have to disable it via the function key (it's usually like
function-f3) or something like that. Then from what I gather you may have to
reboot.
You will not believe it, but pressing Fn- F3 worked at last! At first I
thought my backlight was just being dimmed, as that is what fn-f3 does on my
laptop, but to be SURE, I pressed shift-fn-f3. THen the network applet said
missing firmware and then I inserted my Netgear and voila! I got
Awesome! Glad to here it. Haha if we ever meet up in real maybe you can buy

Haha I was just kidding. I'm a few states over in California. I'll make a

Supposedly this USB wifi adapter works with even a libre kernel, but my

4.5 installation. On the network monitor, it does appear, but no networks are
available.

Is the blue light on? I just pulled my WG111v3 adapter out of my wifes
computer and plugged it into my laptop running Trisquel 4.5 and it has

Have you tried reseting your router perhaps? Are you sure that wifi is
enabled on your router?

No, the blue light is not on but it is listed in 'lsusb'. I have not reset my
router but wifi IS enabled on the router, as I write this post from a laptop
with wifi. The problem is that the network applet WILL NOT let me enable
wireless via clicking the option even though I have some libre
That's weird, could you try booting up a live session of 4.5 and seeing
if it works there? Perhaps you've changed something and that is causing
the issue.

Alreasy way ahead of you on that one. I just used my live 4.5.1 USB stick and
had the exact same problem, and when I tried to right click on the network
manager and enable wireless, I was prevented.
At this point for me, it's not weird it's business as usual. It's always
something...
Does dmesg give you anything relevant? Can you test the WG111v3 on the
other machine that you've got there with the live USB stick?

dmesg seemed to indicate detecting my non-Free BCM4312 card, but NOT my
NetGear one. This is despite BOTH cards showing up when I expand the Network
Manager applet. Beyond that, I didn't see anything relevant (I simply
human-read dmesg)
I can't try out the live USB on this laptop as it
