WNDA 4100 (NetGear N900) Wireless Dual Band USB Adapter

Did you try adding the device ID?

i have the step down in speed, single band. its ath9k_htc and works a charm, 7 bucks on ebay.

0846:9030 NetGear, Inc. WNA1100 Wireless-N 150 [Atheros AR9271]

Just posting to thank all previous posters for all I learned to get this adapter working. I had trouble at first but was using RT5572sta package, which appeared to support the adapter. Then I switched to 20120911_RT3573sta package and worked flawlessly. Thanks again, I couldn't have got it to work without ya's.

I apologize for being a noob to ubuntu and resurrecting dead thread. I just installed ubuntu successfully and followed the steps outlined by chilli on page 4 and the driver worked fine, everything lit up and I connected to the wireless network. However when I took out my ethernet and tried to use my wifi my entire system just froze. This happened multiple times. Has anyone encountered this and know a way to fix it? I am using ubuntu 12.04 and the wnda4100 card by the way. Thanks
I'm coming back to edit this because I've been doing some searching and I wonder, could the problem be that I'm running a 64 bit ubuntu? Is there any way to fix that?

It depends on many things, all of which I think we ought to explore in your own new thread. Please include:

Code:

---

uname -r
lsmod | grep rt
lsusb

I think the 64-bit issue is probably the cause, however, we may have a better way! If I don't catch your thread right away, please send me a private message.

I trying to make procedure on page 4 to work on a BeagleBoard Xm (ARM board) but have trouble with apt-get install linux-headers-generic not found

Thanks,

Which Ubuntu version do you use?

Code:

---

uname -a
lsb_release -a

---

please

Netgear wnda4100 wasn't plugin !

my question is in reference to linux-headers-generic how to install it ?

if i do a :
apt-get install linux-headers-generic , its fails with not found .

How do you compile ?

Thanks,

Obviously, you are using an outdated Ubuntu version and kernel. I strongly recommend using 12.04 instead

hi praseodym ,

I upgrade to 12.10 quantal and can't get to install linux-headers .
Is there a place where i could get/ build for arm processor ?
