10.10 Netgear WG111 Inoperable

[uRock]

Try installing "linux-firmware-nonfree" from Synaptic. It solved my problems with WG511 from Netgear. I think it used to be part of the iso, but has been left out recently.

That worked! Thank you very much for that bit of help!

Since I'm new to Ubuntu and have the same problem, can you tell me where to find the file for linux-fimrware-nonfree?

Thanks!

Ubuntu Software Center, Synaptic Package Manager or run sudo apt-get install linux-firmware-nonfree in a terminal.

Hello Gurus,

Please help me, I follow your advice an downloaded linux-firmware-nonfree, the installation was successful. Then what?, I still can't have my WG111 working.

What else do I need to configure?

Thanks

Did you restart and unplug the Ethernet cable?
