Info

NOTE: There seems to be some confusion because Netgear stuffed up their labels but according to Netgear's website v1 is for Netgear_WG111 and v2 is for Netgear_WG111v2

Distro: Kanotix, kernel Linux version 2.6.17.6

ndiswrapper utils version: 1.8

ndiswrapper driver version: 1.21. Some XP/2K drivers could see ESSID but didn't transfer bytes, others did not even scan ESSID of AP. With ME-driver it seems to work quite well.

Distro-specific: Debian sid

Driver: Netgear windows driver Version: NETGEAR Inc.,04/21/2005,5.112.05.0421 from directory Driver/WINXP/ on the setup CD

Tested debian-kernel 2.6.8 with ndiswrapper 1.1 and vanilla-kernel 2.6.12.3 with ndiswrapper 1.2 - everything works fine as far as i can tell.

Distro-specific: SuSE 10.0

Driver: Netgear windows driver Version: NETGEAR Inc.,04/21/2005,5.112.05.0421 from directory Driver/WINXP/ on the setup CD

tested SuSE Kernel 2.6.13-15.11 with ndiswrapper 1.21 - 128bit WEP and data transfer work fine. Ndiswapper 1.17 and previous kernel did not work (flaky operation + kernel oops).

Extract ZIP file and install driver in WINXP directory. Kernel 2.6.12.6 with WE 18 and ndiswrapper 1.2/1.4 => 128 bit WEP works perfectly, but WPA-PSK TKIP seems not to work with current wpa_supplicant version",
