Help installing driver for Netgear wirless usb adapter

(06-04-2014, 12:17 PM)Departure link Wrote: I have both WNDA3100 and a WNDA4100, the WNDA4100 only needs new kernel to work correctly I think it was kernel 3.12 or 3.13 and should work out of the box, the WNDA3100 you need to use the wrapper in linux with the windows XP driver .ini file for WNDA3100 making sure you use the correct architecture e.g 32bit or 64bit drivers needs to be the same on your linux system, There is also a firmware and driver called "ar9170" but has since been merged with "carl9170" if you decide the wrapper isn't working for you then take a look here http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/carl9170  the driver already comes with linux kernel 2.6 and higher, but you will need to install the carl9170 firmware to get your device working


//Edit
I just realized you are using version 2 of the device, this means wrapper is your only solution, here is the drivers you need http://av3ngr.wikispaces.com/file/view/0846_9011.tar.gz  install the one corresponding to the architecture of your linux system eg. 32bit or 64bit

here is a tutorial for ndiswrapper incase you have problems, use this tutorial with the drivers in the link above and you should be good to go.


P.s
If you get it working to that stage and see your network but can not connect you need to change the WPA2 login encryption on your router to something else e.g WPA, I noticed on my WNDA3100 I needed to do this to get it working on my router

Departure, thank you my friend, and to all of you who contributed to this thank you all, I'm currently on line using my wireless connection. I installed ndiswrapper using the terminal with the command "sudo apt-get install ndisgtk" and proceeded to install the drivers with the ndiswrapper tool and it finally worked. Now I can begin to use and learn this wonderful OS. Thanks again everyone.

Mike
