netgear wireless n usb adapter driver wn111v2

Any who, I am going to try the new files out as I'm switching over to Ubuntu on my laptop. I've looked around but couldn't find one that wasn't just a plain old windows setup file, so I'm out of luck for now. Just a couple side notes - I'm currently using driver version 3.0.0.141 provided from Netgear on my Windows computer and the driver upgrade seems to give a little boost in performance but maybe it's just me. If anyone cares for them they're down below. RAR file compared to the WNDA3100 file provided on one of the links above. There are a couple extra files provided in this. Hi guys, anyone know what driver versions you're running? I've got the files for driver version 3.0.0.131 from Microsoft Support in a.

Then i followed the rest of the instructions listed by others already, and rebooted, and it worked fine. debs, and then special compat-wireless compiled. I had transferred over some linux-header packages, though, for some reason I cant remember (was it a dependency of build-essential? or linux-backport-modules?). Then I tried the special compat-wireless tarball from flash63. (I got this package by using apt-get install -download, again transferring via usb disk and using dpkg -i) I also tried using linux-backport-modules by itself + firmware, but this didn't work either. Upgrading to kernel 2.6.30 and installing firmware, by itself, didnt work. deb package files, transfer with a usb disk, and then used dpkg -i to install those. I used a working ubuntu internet machine to download. I am sorry that I don't have access to any ubuntu machines right now, or a wn111v2 so I cannot remember exactly what I did, nor test which parts are necessary and unnecessary.įirst i tried kernel 2.6.30 (from PPA) by itself. I was able to get a wn111v2 working on ubuntu 9.04 on a machine with no other internet access. I wanted to say thank you to John Stiles and morloch and excogitation and flash63 and to elektronenblitz63 over on the german pages and many others. I have not used this last method but it seems to involve installing git for the firmware/module and probably still needs compat-wireless. I have backports installed as well but am unsure if this is necessary for the above.Īlternatively, go to the official Linux wireless page for the ar9170 module, and certainly good information:

Jaunty automatically adds to network manager applet. # move firmware/module to correct location Sudo apt-get install -reinstall linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential # download and install compat-wireless with driver/modules There is a native ar9170 linux driver ref: Probably to late now but I have a working WN111 v2 on Jaunty.
