I spent a couple of weeks of exasperation trying to get my dual-boot WinXP/Ubuntu 6.10 system trying to recognize my Netgear WG311T wireless adapter, with no luck -- the XP side saw the card immediately, Ubuntu wouldn't recognize it at all. It tried modprobe ath_pci, I played with ndiswrapper (never did figure it out), tried the card in a different slot, nothing.
<br><br>Then, on a whim, I tried my son's Netgear 54MBPS USB wireless adapter, and voila! the system saw the device immediately.<br><br>Now, to the next hurdle: in the network configuration manager, two devices pop up: one is clearly the USB adapter, but it also sees a device that it interprets to be a modem, even though there is no modem attached. Under "properties" it is clearly referring to a dial-up modem. Could it possibly be seeing the wireless router that the adapter is broadcasting to, and interpreting that as a modem?
