Networking :: Get Netgear WG111v2 Working Stable At 30 DBm

Jan 31, 2010

Get a Realtek rtl8187l based usb-adapter (such as netgear wg111v2) work in linux is not tricky, but how to get high tx power and driver stability?

You could have tried ndiwrapper, as i did, and got stuck with a kernel module pretty buggy and crashy, or could have just used the common native driver, without hi-power feature.

To achieve my zen state, i had to work around with a base native driver, a feature-filling patch to apply to it, and the only working kernel supposed to work with, 2.6.27.

That's a brief step by step path:

get the base driver (rtl8187 in our case) and decompress: [URL]

get the featuring patch "rtl8187_2.6.27.patch" from: [URL] and extract it in the base driver directory

then apply it with: ~$ patch -Np1 -i rtl8187_2.6.27.patch

remove old modules, compile and install new one (as root)

~# rmmod r8187 rtl8187
~$ make
~# make install

Now you should have a new net device (wlan#) under iwconfig you can use as usual.

To turn on the hi-power capability: ~# iwpriv wlan0 highpower 1

and set the transmission power value (may be dangerous, see below): ~# iwconfig wlan0 txpower <value of 0 to 35> # i use 30, should be around one watt

and wuel you're done you have your pen running strong and stable on the 2.6.27 kernel.

For a detailed reference and clarification about txpower sets, see the aircrack page: [URL]

Networking :: Netgear WG111v2 Wifi Dongle Drivers?

Oct 30, 2010

I have a Netgear WG111v2 Wifi dongle, sadly there is no linux drivers for it. The only solution i can find is to use Ndiswrapper.

Will it be a major challenge writing a Linux driver ?

Where should i start ?

NB. I want to write my own driver for the following reasons:

Get a better understanding of Linux Device drivers. Probably, get a better understanding of C/C++ and Linux in general.

Ubuntu Networking :: Not Connecting To Internet With Netgear WG111v2 / Solution For This?

Jun 25, 2010

I'll plug in my Netgear wireless USB adapter, and it'll recognize it right away. I'll type in my WEP key, and then it will say configuring. It will then bring up a "Secrets for [router]", with a ASCII key, and I'll check the pass phrase I entered, which is the correct WEP key. I then hit okay, and it says "setting up network address", and then brings up the Secrets page over again.

This particular wireless card works fine on Ubuntu, and worked fine on Zenix, but for some reason, won't work with Kubuntu.

Fedora Networking :: Netgear WG111v2 Wireless Adapter Won't Stay Online

Jan 28, 2010

I just installed Fedora 12 on my HP a430n PC.I used to run Fedora 10, then moved to Linux Mint 7, then to Ubuntu 9.10 and now I am back to Fedora because I want to become more adept with manual package installation and adding repos.When I ran Fedora 12 immediately after then install, before running yum update PackageKit or the software update, it would use my wireless adapter (Netgear WG111v2) and connect to and stay connected to a network just fine. No hiccups.After running the updates and restarting the computer, the wlan won't stay connected for longer than 20 seconds, which is frustrating when trying to install mp3 codecs.

This seems to be a bug in the latest driver update for the WG111v2, but I might be wrong. Anyone have a fix or a way to revert back to the initial driver (I don't know what the original wireless driver was called).

OpenSUSE Wireless :: Connection With Netgear Wg111v2?

Jun 29, 2010

I have problems connection my wg111v2 to my AP. I am running opensuse 11.2 with kernel 2.6.31.12-0.2 The AP itselfe is working fine - as I am using it to access the inet with it from my laptop. However I also tried different channels and encryption schemes with no result. But with my Desktop it is really strange. When I boot up it seems as if I have a connection for a short time (I can start loading a webside but it will stop in the process before it is finished). I have searched for similar problems and found this post: Netgear WG111v2 RTL8187 - openSUSE Forums but some things are different: but I thing the comand line output will tell you more than my talking...

Ubuntu Networking :: WG111v2 Refuses To Work In 9.10?

Apr 25, 2010

I replaced a broken WinXP install with Ubuntu 9.10 x32 on my kids PC and the install and OS itself seems to be fine. When connecting the Netgear WG111v2 USB dongle so that they can get internet access things aren't so good. Firstly the startup and shutdown of the machine get big pauses (around 2 minutes at a time) and there are also big pauses and a general slowdown of the machine while in use that doesn't happen with the dongle disconnected. I wouldn't mind that so much but I can't get the damn thing to connect under ubuntu to our home network. I left an old Win2k partition intact on the machine and I'm glad I did as it means that I've been able to install the drivers to make sure that it all works under Windows, which it does.

It probably makes little difference but the light on the dongle is off for the majority of the time and only lights up briefly on seemingly random occasions. Also, I have no entries for Network Manager in my menus, and the system tray applet doesn't give me the options and tabs that are mentioned in some peoples posts in this forum (ie I can't change the computer name for example), sometimes the system tray applet disappears altogether.

With the dongle attached typing lsusb into the terminal sometimes shows just the USB hubs and sometimes also shows an entry with the WG111 included (and sometimes with big pauses). nm-tool sometimes shows just the motherboard NIC (disconnected), sometimes the WG111 too (also disconnected) and sometimes it just throws up several error messages with pauses between each one. dmesg showed an entry for the dongle on the occasion that I tried it.

Hardware :: Netgear WG511v2 Wireless Adapter - Almost Working

Dec 17, 2008

Running HH on a little Toshiba Satellite something-or-other laptop (I want to say A25, but who knows), Verizon FIOS router (wired and wireless).

NetGear WG511v2 adapter is so close to working...

Didn't seem to want to work with ndisgtk, so I ran ndiswrapper from terminal, using driver folder I copied from my Win2K partition.

(Had to do a cp WG511v2.sys WG511v2XP.sys, as the .inf file referred to the latter, but such did not exist; cp seemed to do the trick.) And now, survey says:

Code:

Code:

Code:

In "Network Settings", the card detects a few wireless networks (including my own in-home router). Status LED flashes constantly (which I interpret to be hunting), and every several seconds, it goes solid while activity LED flashes a few times (which I interpret to be finding a network, attempting communication), then activity LED ceases to flash and status LED goes back to flashing (which I interpret to be failing and going around again). Using DHCP, just like the other computers that connect without incident.

I have entered my WEP every way I can think of. The dialog lets me choose WEP ASCII or WEP hexadecimal; I have entered the key in all caps and in lowercase, as ASCII and as hex, have entered 0's and O's where applicable. No combination seems to allow it to actually communicate with my router beyond getting rejected. My other laptop and PC (and this laptop, when running Win2K) all connect just fine; none of them use WPA-type passphrases, so I assume that's unnecessary from Ubuntu. Roaming mode gives the same results as described above.

Hardware :: Any Way To Test If RAM Is Working / Stable

Jan 22, 2011

I'd like to ask you if there is a way to test if RAM modules are working/stable. I don't mean memtest86+ test, my previous motherboard crashed after inserting another module (problem could not be specified/or/and was in RAM, so I got new ones from seller). So now I'd like to ask you, if there is some way to determine if RAMs are working and stable. I don't know any other way than applying them to them motherboard and testing, but now it really is not what I want to do. Maybe there could be some device which can test them, or something.

Fedora Networking :: Netgear WG511 Works With WEP But Not WPA?

I also made a post about it here: [URL]. As the problem doesn't appear to be ndiswrapper itself I've made this separate post.

Unfortunately, I still end up having wlan0 attempting to connect, prompting for my password, trying to connect then prompting for my password (ad infinitum).

I changed my network security from WPA to WEP and now my card works fine. why this might be happening (i.e. why WEP works but WPA doesn't?)

Networking :: Netgear WG111v3 - Pingable But Not Connected?

Nov 3, 2010

I have installed a Netgear WG111v3 wireless USB networking adapter on an OpenSUSE 11.3 system. I'm using ndiswrapper to run the Windows driver. Using the "Network Settings" GNOME applet (says "Network Settings - YaST" in the title bar) it shows that I have the adapter installed as wlan0, but it's not connected. However, if I go to the "Network Tools" applet (says "Devices - Network Tools" in the title bar) and select "Wireless Interface (wlan0)" from the drop-down, it says that I have an IPv4 address of 192.168.1.104. This is a plausible address that my router could have served. However, I cannot use the network interface from the box itself.

I have a bought a Netgear Wireless N-150 router WGR614v10. I am using my net connection via PPPoE wired on a Win 7 machine and the connection was flawless the MAC address on the router is of the Win 7 machine.

My problem is that I have an old machine PIII 600Mhz 398MB SD Ram on VectorLinux 6.0....I tried connecting the internet directly with PPPoE the connection worked fine and I could connect through the net...but now after installing the router the machine is not detected by the router(Wired). only my Win 7 (Wired) machine and my android phone (wireless) is shown in attached devices and the VectorLinux machine is not shown....

The lan card light is on on the VectorLinux machine.

typed commands like ifconfig -a, lsmod, lspci got the reading:

Networking :: NetGear - WN111 V2 Usb Wireless Adapter ?

May 16, 2010

I'm running Slakware 13 (kernel 2.6.29.6) on a inspiron 1525. I use ndiswarper to use the BCM4312 wireless device without any problem but the fact that the driver does not support the Monitor mode. I therefore bought a NetGear WN111 v2 usb stick but I can't get the linux driver.

Even ndiswarper does not work but it's may be because I don't have the right .sys .ins files. (just to try)

So, I wonder if someone has already successfully manged this device working on Slackware 13?

Actually, I don't know if we can make lets say wlan0 and wlan1 working at the same time. I've try many drivers mentioned on Ubuntu forums but none of theme work with me.

Many people talk about wpa_supplicant but I don't know if I really need it to make my wn111v2 working. And what is a firmware?
