Netgear dwna3100v2 Perhaps you didn't have your coffee yet. Did you mean instead "Netgear WNDA3100v2"? ^^^ http://support.netgear.com/product/WNDA3100v2 Although it make it look like you must register to get their driver, I just clicked on the "X" close icon and the download started, anyway. The only files I found in the downloaded .zip file (and the .zip files it contained) were setup.exe and a release notes file. From where did you download the driver you are tried to use? |

Actually, the question is about getting ndiswrapper to run that Wifi in Linux. He's trying to get it running in Linux at the moment. As near as I can tell (some 2012 threads), that one is still an ndiswrapper solution. There's nothing wrong with that, as long as the hardware PNP works properly, and the thing is actually a recognized variant of the family. And that's why one of the steps, is using as many "inventory" applications, to get as much data on the thing as possible. It's possible there is a more "Wifi specific" inventory application available. A small amount of hardware for Wifi, has native drivers. Other brands may offer nothing of use, and then the Linux community uses ndiswrapper, grabs an ndis file from Windows (WinXP), and runs that file in Linux (loads the EXE or DLL or whatever). Paul |

Although Rene replied that he posted to the wrong newsgroup, he did not say to which newsgroup he posted before and where he meant to submit his new post. He did an opps following by another oops. I did not know where to get a history of what he was doing. Thanks for the update. |
