And what was your experience? Do you have the Windows XP .inf and .sys files available? Mind if we try again?And before that I tried messing around with ndiswrapper

I never could find the right files. The only thing I have is the small driver CD that came with the USB adapter. The files I see on the CD are things like "autorun.inf","setup.ini","TRANS.tbl", "autorun.exe" etc. How do I install ndiswrapper again? sudo get-apt ndisgtk?

Is yours a 32- or 64-bit system?I found the files right where you found the Linux drivers; on Realtek's site!Code:arch

Nice!
My system is running on "i686" (32 bit)
First we need to unload and blacklist the native driver:Now we load the Windows driver. Download the file I've attached to your desktop. Right-click it and select Extract Here. Now back to the previously opened terminal:Code:sudo su modprobe -r rtl8192cu echo "blacklist rtl8192cu" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.confWhen the window opens, point it to Desktop/WinXP/netrtwlanu.inf and let it install the driver and firmware files. Now in the terminal:Code:ndisgtkAny improvement?Code:modprobe ndiswrapper exit

I ran sudo apt-get install ndisgtk and from what it looked like it installed correctly. However when I point ndiswrapper at that .inf file I get this message in ndiswrapper:
"Module could not be loaded. Error was:
FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found.
Is the ndiswrapper module installed?"
Ideas?
Please do:After it's done, try again. Meantime, I shall draft a bug report.Code:sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-dkms
"Oh, Ubuntu, you are my favorite Linux-based operating system" --Dr. Sheldon Cooper, B.Sc., M.Sc., M.A., Ph.D., Sc.D.
So it looks like I installed the dkms module successfully. I installed the windows driver, and as it stands without rebooting I have no connection. I noticed that the hardware status in ndiswrapper said "Hardware Present: No" so I clicked on "Configure Network" upon which an error message popped up saying, "Could not find a network configuration tool." Does this mean that we need to switch back to the default network configuration tool instead of using wicd? (if so, how would I do that?) Also no wireless options or responses are appearing/happening in either wicd, or network tools.
Just rebooted and still seeing the same issues.
The inf file I attached includes this:ID 0846:9041 NetGear, Inc. WNA1000M 802.11bgn [Realtek RTL8188CUS]I feel it's the correct file for your device. Please post:[Netgearcus.NTx86]
;;%Netgearcus.DeviceDesc% = RTL8192cu.ndi, USB\VID_0846&PID_9041 ; Netgear 88CUSfor B/G/NThat's an l for 'list.' Thanks.Code:ndiswrapper -l dmesg | grep ndisI doubt it. Let's troubleshoot first.Does this mean that we need to switch back to the default network configuration tool instead of using wicd?
