WG111v3 wireless USB and Linux
Written by edmond in Applications , Commands & Shell , Debian , GNU-Linux , Hardware , Kernel , Wireless
I have a couple of keys including a wireless Netgear WG111v3, and as often happens in the Linux world there are no drivers. So to make it work you should obtain ndiswrapper and use the windows driver download from here .
apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils-1.9
and after that unzip to the folder and install the WG111 driver
ndiswrapper-i WG111v3.inf
At this point, simply load the module
modprobe ndiswrapper
check with
ndiswrapper-l
and we will get something like
DebianBox :/ home / edmond # ndiswrapper-l
wg111v3: driver installed
device (0846:4260) present
in the case we were dealing with a similar error
FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found.
we can solve the problem with module-assistant
apt-get install module-assistant ndiswrapper-source
compile the modules ndiswrapper
but with ndiswrapper
reload the module
modprobe ndiswrapper
Now everything should work.

Hello, I had not authorized it as root, now works, only thing I do not understand 'cause with the command: ndiswrapper-l
I get the following output: wg111v3: driver installed
device (0846:4260) present (alternate driver: rtl8187)
I have the impression that they are working and the alternate drivers, or 'normal?
However, the adapter works better than before although not 100% I would not be due to these alternate drver nn that I do use those installed by ndswrapper.
I ask for help to those who understand more 'me ...
Thank you.

try to blacklist the drivers and see what works:
sudo gedit / etc / modprobe.d / blacklist.conf
and enter in the name of the driver.
reboot

Hello Edmond, I tried but nothing remains the rtl8187 driver, the thing that drives me crazy and 'the fact that the network will do after 5 min the signal drops and disconnects and reconnects, making navigation impossible, or has to be I still do it now or after 2-hour surf safely! now I'm writing right from the PC and the network is fine ... but up to 5 min ago 'I could not even open the page of google .... I do not know 'more' which way to turn ...
