Hi John, It would be very usefull to know what model is your USB. I guess it is WG111: Google query returned a lot of links, here is few: query = netgear wg111 linux http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/showdev.php?id=3614 http://www.webservertalk.com/archive76-2005-2-909523.html query = opensuse netgear wg111 http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-499084.html works in openSUSE 10.2 http://jbnote.free.fr/ it is probably Prism54. It should work with ndiswrapper and windows driver. In case it doesn't guys here would probably need output of console commands: lsusb part that shows that device is present. Also tail -f /var/log/messages before connecting wireless dongle, can show how kernel handles device. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
