[Trisquel-users] Netgear WN111-100NAR hardware versions and free drivers

[tegskywalker]

With the Netgear WN111 USB wireless adapter, it has two versions. Version 1  
is Broadcom and Version 2 is the free Atheros 9170 chipset. Of course I want  
Version 2 due to the free driver. It is listed as an Atheros 9170 chipset  
when I type "modinfo carl9170" in the terminal even if it is not listed on  
the H-Node website.

I am looking to buy this online really cheap and the product description only  
says "WN111-100NAR" which I have no idea what version it is. Do I actually  
have to see v1 or v2 on the box or adapter itself to see the difference? The  
online Netgear information is really no help.
