How to install your Netgear wg111v2 wireless dongle on Edgy

Yeah, but I used an ethernet cable for a long time with no crashes. It only happens with the wireless. I turned off beryl and it seems to be working a little better now. I will continue to investigate.

I believe it's version 2 - 0846:6a00 -. not sure on chipset or anything. I tryed using the dongle before I knew what ndiswrapper was and it would just lock my computer up. I'm using edgy on a 32 bit computer. Right now it's working pretty good. I think maybe beryl was straining the computer or something, it is really old.

Glad you're up and running! :D

Also, my system locked up like it was using the old driver, even though I had been browsing the web for a little while, Is that common? It may have been a fluke....

I have moved on to Edgy and now I don't have wait for Ubuntu to boot to plug in the usb dongle! It works flawlessly!

I have lately started my WG111v1 under Ubuntu Edgy using this doc and this driver.
Everything works.
