    Netgear WNA1000 working in Lucid

    Using the latest compat wireless http://wireless.kernel.org/download/...-wireless-2.6/

    In my instance, compat-wireless-2010-5-29

    after installing, which will take some time
    Code:
    sudo modprobe ar9170usb
    May have to add ar9170usb to modules list so it loads on boot. These steps may not be perfect for everyone. This is just what I did to get this adapter to work with kernel 2.6.32-22. Make sure there isn't a windows driver installed if you have tried using ndiswrapper. Although, I did have arusb_xp installed via ndis and after installing the compat drivers, I got nothing. Then
    Code:
    ndiswrapper -l
    showed arusb_xp was present, but also showed ar9170usb as an alternate driver. So I was missing the last piece to get it going and that was the code above. After sudo modprobe ar9170usb, networks were picked up instantly. Hopefully this will help someone, even though it's a jumbled mess.

    Also, the adapter connects using PSK WPA2 Personal
    You will need to recompile the driver if the linux image or kernel changes.
