Info
Used the following procedure:
1 installed drivers on a Windows machine (default install location was C:\Program Files\Netgear\WN511B) 1 copied drivers from Windows machine to laptop running Ubuntu 9.10 in a directory I created like (as root) #mkdir /root/wireless_drivers 1 loaded ndiswrapper from the Ubuntu CD (used an alternate install CD due to the capabilities of the laptop) by opening Synaptic Package Manager, selecting Edit | Add CD Rom from menu (since laptop has no hardwire internet access) and doing a search for "ndis". This loaded ndiswrapper-common, ndisgtk, ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 1 Followed section 3.1 Disable Free Drivers on this page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper#autostart 1 used ndisgtk to install the windows drivers (same page as above) 1 Set security to match my router (Netgear RangeMax using WPA-PSK with mac address filtering (paranoia)
