I have been trying to install my Netgear WG111v2 Driver on my Ubuntu 9.4 computer but everything I have tried has failed. I have looked online and found instruction but it did not work.
View 1 RepliesGet 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]
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.
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.
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).
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...

I searched the net for a 64 bit driver and found driver that recongnises the card in 64bit 9.04/mint 7 but when i go into terminal the result shows that that the card is "unclaimed" (it also says unmanaged i think)

View 9 Replies View RelatedI 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.
so i have most recent ubuntu server installed (10.04 i believe) and currently i have a usb netgear WG111 v3 plugged into my computer server. However it does not supply internet. I was told to edit the /etc/network/interfaces file and put in
Code:
/etc/network/interfaces
auto lo wlan0
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet dhcp
iface wlan0 inet manual
wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
wpa-roam-default-iface wlan0-default
iface wlan0-default inet dhcp
[Code]...
but i have no idea how to edit it properly let alone, And this assumes your wireless NIC is already supported and visible as wlan0. Could someone help me or perhaps walk me through the process to correctly set it up so i don't have to bridge my connection from my laptop please?

However my laptop, running Ubuntu, will not find it using Raidar, the IP address in a browser nor with a file manager or any other programme. I have tried both wired and wireless connections
However if I go to "places" from the top bar, which opens Nautilus, I can access it and all the files on it.
I have been checking threads, Google etc. from what I have gathered I might have wasted my money on the Netgear adapter, I have not had any problems connecting to the network but I am operating at 54 MBs on my Realtek internal adapter

I guess my main question is if anyone knows a simple to install wireless card (pci or usb) for ubuntu 9.10 64.
