Ubuntu Networking :: Can't Get Wg111t Netgear Wireless Adapter To Work
Mar 5, 2010
i can't get my wg111t netgear wireless adapter to work. I followed the help thing by installing ndisgtk, which installed successfully. I was able to load up the file on the cd that also the help page said. The problem is that the computer won't load up the adapter as it would load up my cd's and flash drive. Here's how i installed ndisgtk. I installed the files ndiswrapper_common, ndiswrapper_1.9, and then the ndisgtk_0.8.5.All of these were for i386.

I have been searching for days on end trying to get my machine to detect my Netgear WG111T wireless adapter...and I've gotten absolutely nowhere at all.Most tutorials suggest I use ndigstk(sp?), which allows me to use Windows drivers for my adapter. I've been told many times to use the wg111t.inf file, but all I've been able to come up with is the w11t.inf file. Whenever I start up the Windows Wireless Drivers application, I usually get a popup which tells me "Unable to see if Hardware is detected"--yet when I hit the OK prompt, next to the w11t.inf file, it says "Hardware detected --Yes", yet I still have gotten nowhere. I grasp some basics of Linux, but overall I'm still pretty new to it--and I have a big headache from the whole thing.
EDIT: I forgot to mention, my install is 9.04, so if 9.10 resolves this, how would I go about upgrading without downloading an ENTIRELY new disc (I have a horrid internet connection, it'd take HOURS to download the 699MB ISO, so perhaps make that a last resort)

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?

I just bought a Netgear N PCI wireless network card and was hoping Ubuntu 9.10 would recognize it. I installed the card and was using XP on the machine (Dell Dimension 2400) and decided to install 9.10 on this computer instead (XP = slow!). I'm not sure how to get Ubuntu to recognize it. I was hoping this would be a 'plug and play' install

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).

Edit: after upgrading everything using a usb to ethernet port converter ndiswrapper is working perfectly
I do not have internet access on a laptop I am trying to upgrade. It has no ethernet port. I may resort to buying a USB to ethernet adapter but I spent more than I would like to have already. I have tried every command in the HOWTO for wireless difficulties and posted the output.

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.

time Windows user here; limited line command experience from early computer learning; Just wiped my drive and installed Ubuntu. How do I install a driver for the netgear wireless adapter - it was already installed in the machine. I've downloaded the driver believed to work. What next? Also, any instruction on educating myself on Linux/Ubuntu basics?

I have a Belkin Enhanced Wireless USB Network Adapter Model # F6D4050 v2. The drivers are for windows but the windows wireless drivers app doesnt work. I see a tutorial for a linksys that appears to have the same chipset, but I am not sure if any of the steps need to be modified, also my kernel is a bit different. Here is my kernel:

Above adapter can be installed on v10.2 and 11.3 using ndiswrapper:-
1. Copy the 3 driver files from Windows:- like netwpn111.inf, WPN111.sys & ar5523.bin.
(Be carfeul about the exact names, because they have changed over time).
2. sudo ndiswrapper -i netwpn111.inf
3. sudo ndiswrapper -m
4. sudo modprobe ndiswrapper (the adapter should light up at this point and networks will be detected shortly after - see network manager). (Be careful of paths here - e.g. I had to use /sbin/modprobe - so 'whereis' may be necessary to find these commands).
2nd When I reboot, I need to run the modprobe command again. How do I make the module load automatically on boot? Also (and this is minor), can I bypass the KWallet, keyring thing? it seems silly to enter a password for the keyring and then click another password dialog, when I can just as easily enter the password for the network itself.

I love ubuntu, but I don't know how to use a command line to save my life. I'd just as soon never use a terminal ever. My big issue is I cannot get my wireless adapter to work. It is a keebox w150nu, which is based off the Ralink RT3070 chip. I am willing to use command line to get this thing to work because I love ubuntu to death, but everything I have tried has failed. I have gone to the Ralink website and downloaded the Tar.bz file from there. t
The file I grabbed is the third one down from the top: [URL].
I have absolutely no idea what to do from there with the file however. Please understand that I have zero idea how to use command line in a terminal. What I have to do to make this work? Is there a usb wireless N adapter that works straight away with ubuntu 10.10, as in I plug it in before the install, and it is immediately recognized and works immediately?

Okay I've got a Netgear N-150 WNA 1100 USB WiFi adapter, it doesn't work in Ubuntu it's not supported. There should be a way to make it work with ndiswrapper. I tried and failed before and due to other non related circumstances I had to reinstall Ubuntu. What are the steps to install ndiswrapper and it's dependency's on a fresh Ubuntu installation that cannot connect to the internet.

Just installed yesterday - and I love it so far except my wireless turns on for about 5 minutes, then disconnects.
In order to get internet back I have to either restart or uncheck "Enable Networking" and then recheck it.
I will try to provide as much information, but like I said I am new to Ubuntu and there is some things that are completely different from what I'm used to on Windows:
Wireless Adapter: Netgear RangeMax Next Wireless PCI Adapter WN311B
Additional Driver its Using: Broadcom STA wireless driver
Router: Netgear RangeMax
Information From "sudo iwconfig":

I have a Netgear GA311 PCI Gigabit Adapter. Any chance it might work with CentOS? It is not one of the cards listed when I do "NEW" Ethernet Adapter from the System Network menu. Maybe there is compatible choice?

I recently installed Ubuntu 10.04 (and eventually upgraded to 10.10) on a 6+ year old Gateway Laptop. When I booted Ubuntu up after installing it, I was rather surprised to discover that the wireless card didn't work. I am almost certain that the wireless card is a Broadcom BCM4306, but I am unable to determine what revision it is, if at all. When I look at the network connections widget, it says that the wireless card is not ready, and iwconfig (I think) says that it's disabled.
It's not a problem with the laptop itself, because I was able to get a Linksys usb wireless adapter to work just fine on it, although it was SLOW (about 90 kbs). I am trying to fix this on a FRESH installation of Xubuntu 10.04 with the default packages on it, nothing more. Now, I was able to get the wireless working ONCE on ubuntu, using fwcutter I think, but it went away upon reboot. One last thing, I am running the 32 bit Xubuntu 10.04 on what I think is a 64 bit machine (I think it ran x64 Ubuntu 10.04 before I ditched it), so how to figure out if it is 64 bit.

Have tried methods from every thread I could find for past 10 hrs. Have tried installing rt3070sta etc.Monitored message log; appears that the driver isn't recognized, though the USB port sees that something is plugged in (when I plug in the adapter, and unplug it).All of the threads miss something; I can't get a wireless port listed under ifconfig no matter what I try. Seems that every method leaves out something (I guess because everyone's box is different in some way). Network manager doesn't help much. Downloaded Wicd, which does even less.I guess I could try ndiswrapper, but I'm scared away by the hundreds of pages I see on going that route; I'm almost certain it wouldn't work (1000 possible points of failure).Does anyone have a strategy to recommend?AM64 box, newly installed Edubuntu 10.04, ran update manager.

I've been using Windows all my life (and still have to use it at work) but I made the big leap yesterday and installed Ubuntu on my personal machine (at last). With my "Windows-centric" mind, there are a million things that I still don't get, but I must say the community and forums look quite impressive and easy to access (kudos! ). I am testing this today!My current problem is with the wireless adapter. I have a Belkin N Wireless USB adapter (FSD8053v3) and Belkin, of course, doesn't make linux drivers. When I installed Ubuntu, it recognized it automatically and I could connect to my network, but navigation was very slow so I tried to install Belkin windows drivers using ndiswrapper. It worked immediately, and navigation was very fast. However after a reboot, I lost the connection, I can't even see any of the neighbouring networks.

I recently installed Ubuntu 10.10 onto my Acer Aspire D260 netbook.I find it much easier to use than Windows 7.Everything has been working fine until I recently tried going on the internet via battery power instead of my A/C charger. My update manager is showing that I am up to date and Additional Drivers is showing that the Broadcom STA wireless driver is installed and in use.
