To address earlier complaints above, NO, using apt is NOT possible if you’ve got no wired networking and no wireless. I guess this is why my “WG111v2-unless-it’s-a-V1-on-alternate-Tuesdays wifi NIC was only five bucks on Newegg!įor the historical record, here’s my experience with these instructions in 11.04 Natty:ġ. I’ve never had to use NDIS drivers in modern versions of Ubuntu before, and I don’t expect to do so again. In Ubuntu, lsusb sees the bloody thing as a WG111v1 - WTF with extra sauce, Netgear? This is not Ubuntu’s fault, this is a squirrelly product, plain and simple. The WG111v2 I bought as a refurb, for example, never worked with Netgear’s officially-released v2 drivers in Windows, and needed a special alternate V2 driver that was extremely hard to find. This is not “way over the top” for one very good reason the Netgear wg111 series USB NIC was plagued with driver problems from day one, including major issues with different manufacturing runs needing different, unofficial, or “beta” drivers in Windows XP.
