David,
Thanks so much for your response. Indeed, I have checked on those sites, but I was maybe hoping for a "miracle" driver...:) I guess I'll have to wait. Thanks once again...

If that card is a Prims54/GT based card then you may be out of luck right now. Though the Chipset is supported, the USB connector hasn't been written quote:
"As for the USB Devices, like the WUSB54G, this does have a Prism chipset but we have to write the USB glue to the driver. This has not yet been done. Please wait."
From this page:http://prism54.org/supported_cards.php
And checking this page it is indeed a PrismGT card: http://www.linux-wlan.org/docs/wlan_adapters.html.gz
And it doesn't look like www.linuxant.com/driverloader/ supports USB devices either: http://www.linuxant.com/driverloader/wlan/faq.php?PHPSESSID=a6e31f580beb35162b8606d03fa0b6e3
Sorry, wish it was better news.

Dear all,
I am trying to set up a Netgear WG121 wireless usb adapter in two
desktops, but I am having a bit of trouble with it. I previously have
set another one up in my laptop--a Netgear MA111 usb wireless
adapter--which is working well. I have Slackware 10.0 and Fedora Core 2
in my laptop, both using kernel 2.6. Given the good results with this
adapter--the Netgear MA111--, I got a couple of Netgear WG121 to use at
home with two desktops. Since the MA111 uses the wlan-ng driver, I tried
this same driver for the WG121 with no luck. One of the desktop--a
pentium III-- has Suse 9.1 with kernel 2.4 and in the other desktop--a
pentium IV--I am using Gentoo and Mandrake 10.0 both with kernel 2.6. I
did a search on the WG121 usb adapter and saw that it has been tested
with the prism gt--prism54--which I tried as well with no results
either.
Has anyone tried or known someone who has tested this adapter (the Netgear WG121 usb)? Am I using the wrong driver or is there any particular setting or issue I have to take into consideration? In order to install it, I have recompiled the kernels as stated in the readme with its complete kernel tree. In the case of gentoo, I tried to "emerge" with FEATURES="usb -pci -sandbox" emerge net-wireless/prism54, but it gives error and suggests to add "=". Do I have to emerge it, ebuild it or should I install it from source? I was hoping to have better luck with gentoo since it takes care of dependencies or possible problems that may occur. Could anyone be so kind and suggest possible solutions, links, drivers? I really would like to make this adapter work under linux.
Any help would be greatly appreciate it.
Thanks so much for your time and consideration.
