It doesn't appear that this device is supported with a Linux driver. Normally, the WinXP driver could then be used, along with NDISwrappper. But it seems that Netgear has packaged the driver in a format that NDISwrapper cannot use.

My advice is to consider getting a different wireless device.

[waterhead]

I may have been hasty in my first reply

I downloaded and ran the driver installer in Linux, using wine. It installed the driver in the hidden .wine folder, in my home directory.

/home/paul/.wine/drive_c/windows/inf/WN121T

To use NDISwrapper you need an .inf file for your device and the corresponding .sys file, and I think that I found it. In the file named netmw245.inf, I see your device listed (in red)

[Marvell]

%MRVL8360USB.DeviceDesc% = W8360USB.ndi.NT,USB\VID_1286&PID_2006

%BelkinN1USB.DeviceDesc% = W8360USB.ndi.NT,USB\VID_1799&PID_8051

%LinksysNUSB.DeviceDesc% = W8360USB.ndi.NT,USB\VID_13B1&PID_0029

%WN121TUSB.DeviceDesc%   = W8360USB.ndi.NT,USB\VID_0846&PID_7100

%WN111USB.DeviceDesc%    = W8360USB.ndi.NT,USB\VID_0846&PID_9000

%N650USB.DeviceDesc%     = W8360USB.ndi.NT,USB\VID_07D1&PID_3B10

%AsusUSB1.DeviceDesc%    = W8360USB.ndi.NT,USB\VID_0B05&PID_172A

%AsusUSB2.DeviceDesc%    = W8360USB.ndi.NT,USB\VID_0B05&PID_172B

%DLinkUSB.DeviceDesc%    = W8360USB.ndi.NT,USB\VID_07D1&PID_3B11

I could tell NDISwrapper to use the files in that folder. Something like this:

ndiswrapper -i /home/paul/.wine/drive_c/windows/inf/WN121T/netmw245.inf

Then run these commands.

ndiswrapper -m

ndiswrapper -ma

ndiswrapper -mi

Reboot, and see if it works. You may still need to configure it first. Open the Network program, click on the wireless device, and then the Edit icon. Select these options:

Use NetworkManager to control the device
Allow all uses to control the device
Use DNS
Use DHCP

Save and exit.

[waterhead]

I just noticed that the wn111.inf file is for the Vista driver. You want to use the WinXP driver. Use the netmw245.inf file.

I will change my original post to reflect this (if I can).

[DontFadeAway]

sorry for the late reply...and cheers for the advice

but...
decided to opt for changing to mint tried what was advised and managed to get as far as what was suggested got driver installed but when i click the network button at the bottom of the screen i dont seem to have any option for wireless....
any ideas?

[waterhead]

Since you now are using a different distro, you will have to repost the needed info from the new distro. Just like you did for Fedora 13.

[DontFadeAway]

that is a good point,,,

was meant to have been in the last post but its been a long week, lol

[waterhead]

Were there any errors when installing the driver with NDISwrapper? What is the output of this command:

ndiswrapper -l

[DontFadeAway]

WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper, it will be ignored in a future release.
netmw245 : driver installed
device (0846:7100) present

[waterhead]

I was going to suggest forcing NDISwrapper to use your device's ID. But it looks like it already knows it. You can still try it, anyway. NDISwrapper refers to this procedure as "dangerous", so proceed at your own risk.

sudo ndiswrapper -a 0846:7100 netmw245

Also, check the full output of dmesg for any messages concerning this.
