install netgear wg311v3 wireless pci adapter under linux

[NSWsnowfire]

I run ndiswrapper -r ....

ndiswrapper -l

response is blank.

I removed the wireless card hardware.

start the computer, there is only one L1 wire net work card.

I put the wireless card back in. start the computer,

the wireless card back in:
1. 88w8335[Libertas]802.11b/g Wireless
2. L1 Gigabit Etherner Adapter
and as before I can't edit or delete the first one.

don't know why.

Thanks everyone!!

I have to give up. don't have time to work on it.

maybe I will buy a new card to save my time.

I am using wired network. But I think I will come back to fix it later. Maybe I can swap wired card and wireless card.

It is interesting.

Hi Tux fans, Since netgear does not support 64 bit linux, there is a lack of support for 64 bit setup of WG311V3 by the above procedure.

I have written a new wrapper over latest (3.2.3.2) Marvel Libertas 64 bit drivers for Netgear WG311V3 .Driver should also support 32 bit os.

And the driver is available for download from here

Netgear WG311V3 NDIS Driver for Linux AMD64 ‎(Subtle Gems)‎


Additional questions on how to go about installing this driver are answered here.
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wi...tgear_WG311_v3

as well as here
WG311v3 LINUX WIKI - Jimbo7-wiki


The ubuntu link also provides an older libertas driver for 64 bit. But it does not work as well(crashes,hangups,no WPA) as the one created by me.

Decided to have a hunt around & found an old netgear card i had. this was a wg311 v3 as well & was pci.So, after installing it in the machine i have for testing, i found i needed to use ndiswrapper for it. Here's what i did to get it working:-

1 ) install ndiswrapper from the dvd
2 ) copy windows drivers to /home/andy/netgear, making sure i had the .cat,.inf & .sys files
3 ) opened a console & cd to the directory /home/andy/netgear
4 ) typed "su" & pressed enter,typed in root's password
5 ) typed " ndiswrapper -i name/of/inf " & pressed enter
6 ) typed "ndiswrapper -ma" & pressed enter
7 ) typed " modprobe ndiswrapper" & pressed enter
8 ) typed "ndiswrapper -l" & pressed enter,device was present with driver
9 ) exited console.
10 ) went to YaST - network devices - network settings.
11 ) under Global i selected,disable ipv6,selected network manager & set wireless to on boot
12 ) went back to first page.Selected my wired card & changed to on cable connection.
13 ) clicked on my wireless device & selected edit/configure
14 ) filled in the details of ESSID,encryption,etc. under hardware i put ndiswrapper in the module section
15 ) applied settings
16 ) clicked on network manager, found my ESSID being broadcast & selected to connect to it.
17 ) Had to fill in my wpa key again,saved, then connected.
18 ) wireless connected & i started surfing.

Hope this helps. I also have my own ndiswrapper howto here Howto's just scroll down for it
