Thread: Netgear WNA3100 + AMD 64-bit 11.04

hi all.. first pardon lack of caps, 1 of shift keys on laptop dead , unfortunately it's 1 use (goes against typing standards)

installed 11.04 64-bit amd version of ubuntu , can't seem recognize usb (netgear wna 3100) wireless router

code:

uname -a: linux <server> 2.6.38-8-generic #42-ubuntu smp mon apr 11 03:31:24 utc 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 gnu/linux

code:

lsusb:  bus 001 device002: id 0846:9020 netgear, inc.

i'm running amd 64 anthlon processor on home built machine (asus motherboard)


i'm having little difficulty confirming chipset. 1 site has listed atheros, ubuntu wireless has listed as.

sudo modprobe wl returns fatal: module not found.

so.. question is.. how do without having internet connection (i don't want move desktop down router).

in advance.. , thanked later on..

it's obscure broadcom. complex install. please see here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1549190&page=8

, here: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawik...etgear_wna3100

modifications referred in .c files, referring modifying downloaded source code , compiling , installing in place of ubuntu version implement changes. it's bit more complex usual, doable.

how do without having internet connection

you'll need build-essential , linux-headers-generic. on install cd, believe. can ndiswrapper here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ndiswrapper/ transfer on usb key desktop machine.

need windows xp (not vista, 7, etc.) .inf , .sys files.

wish proceed?

return device , usb wireless device works out of box, although that's not fun hacking .c code , compiling tarball.

ps - module wl incorrect device.
