Dear all, I am trying to set up a Netgear WG121 wireless usb adapter in two desktops, but I am having a bit of trouble with it. I previously have set another one up in my laptop--a Netgear MA111 usb wireless adapter--which is working well. I have Slackware 10.0 and Fedora Core 2 in my laptop, both using kernel 2.6. Given the good results with this adapter--the Netgear MA111--, I got a couple of Netgear WG121 to use at home with two desktops. Since the MA111 uses the wlan-ng driver, I tried this same driver for the WG121 with no luck. One of the desktop--a pentium III-- has Suse 9.1 with kernel 2.4 and in the other desktop--a pentium IV--I am using Gentoo and Mandrake 10.0 both with kernel 2.6. I did a search on the WG121 usb adapter and saw that it has been tested with the prism gt--prism54--which I tried as well with no results either.
Has anyone tried or known someone who has tested this adapter (the Netgear WG121 usb)? Am I using the wrong driver or is there any particular setting or issue I have to take into consideration? In order to install it, I have recompiled the kernels as stated in the readme with its complete kernel tree. In the case of gentoo, I tried to "emerge" with FEATURES="usb -pci -sandbox" emerge net-wireless/prism54, but it gives error and suggests to add "=". Do I have to emerge it, ebuild it or should I install it from source? I was hoping to have better luck with gentoo since it takes care of dependencies or possible problems that may occur. Could anyone be so kind and suggest possible solutions, links, drivers? I really would like to make this adapter work under linux. Any help would be greatly appreciate it. Thanks so much for your time and consideration. william -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
