Here's the fix that worked for me! 1. Download and install compat-wireless-2010-02-01, 2. go to the compat-wireless-2010-02-01/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ar9170 folder, 3. open the file "usb.c" at line 62 there will be a list of devices with their device IDs, 4. Edit one of the existing devices to "Netgear WNA1000" and device ID "0x0846, 0x9040" you have to edit one of the existing devices since a usb driver can only control 18 devices, which are already listed.
The ar9170usb driver is the closest match for the WNA1000, but it must recognize your device ID. If for some reason your WNA1000 device ID is different, use you IDs. I had to plug mine into a windows pc and look at its properties first.
Mine looks like:
static struct usb_device_id ar9170_usb_ids[] = {
/* Atheros 9170 */
{ USB_DEVICE(0x0cf3, 0x9170) },
/* Netgear WNA1000 */
{ USB_DEVICE(0x0846, 0x9040) },
/* TP-Link TL-WN821N v2 */
{ USB_DEVICE(0x0cf3, 0x1002) },
If everything else in the system is correct, just reboot and there it is! I did not use ndiswrapper.
Good luck!
