Need HELP on setting NetGear wireless adapter wg111v2

[Larry Shields]

*I am looking for anyone that has sucessfully installed there NetGear
Wireless adapter and how you went about getting it to work...

I have tried using Ndiswrapper-1.51 the latest ver. but to know avail...

I have also tried using the drivers from the CD that came from the Charter.com people who setup my wifes XP computer with the router...

WINXP drivers & WINME drivers plus a few others but still it's a no-go operation here...

Now here is something else that I have found out, having a problem in setting the essid with iwconfig wlan0 essid "name" does not work, it shows ESSID: Off/Any and will not except the essid command...

But if I change the mode setting from managed to ad-hoc, I then can set the essid, that works...But then again I can not connect for I am in the wrong mode setting...Changing it back too removes the essid that I had...

So at this point I am at a loss on what to do, so as I have mentioned if anyone has successfully installed the right driver, plus the configuration on how they set up there wireless adapter I sure would like to hear from you...

Thanks to anyone that will respond concerning this issue...
