    Question NETGEAR WNDA3100v2 Adapter Problems

    Hello, I recently installed Ubuntu and I need to get my wireless adapter (NETGEAR WNDA3100v2) to work with Ubuntu 12.04. I cannot get a wired internet connection to the computer, but I can use a flash drive to transfer files from other computers if needed. I do have ndiswrapper installed, but I am not sure how to use it to install the files needed to use my adapter. I have the .inf file/files that is/are needed and my computer is a 64bit system.
    If you could help me get my adapter working, it would be a huge help!
    Thanks in advance!

    Try this 64bit driver:

    http://media.cdn.ubuntu-de.org/forum...4bit_v3.tar.gz

    Install it with
    Code:
    sudo ndiswrapper -i /path/to/64bit/INF-file
    Change the router mode to "b+g" only

    The file attached was not an .inf file, so the installation did not succeed. Is this the right file? Thanks.

    Unpack the tar.gz. There should be 2 folders...

    Ohhh... Stupid me haha.
    Now the driver is installed, so what do I do next?
    When I type ndiswrapper -l I get
    Code:
    bcmn43xx64: driver installed
    device (0846:9011) present

    Reload the driver and re-plug the stick:
    Code:
    sudo modprobe -rfv ndiswrapper
    sudo modprobe -v ndiswrapper
    Check after that:
    Code:
    iwconfig
    dmesg | grep ndis
    sudo iwlist scan
    ifconfig -a
    iwlist chan
