I am trying to set up internet on SuSE 10.1....
i currently have a netgear WG111 which apparently has no drivers for it.....
i was planning on purchasing a WG111T which is a atheros chipset USB adapter but i want to make sure it works....i dont think Best Buy takes back opened merchandice if it doesnt work out....

so my question is, has anyone gotten it to work?
are there any wireless adapters that are linux ready?

thanks in advance....

Yes there are. Any PCI card with a prism chipset. What version WG111 is this 1 or 2?

Does the serial number start with WG41 or 165 (version 2) or;

WG16 or WG72 or 130 (version 1)?

If it is a version 2, then you may be able to get it working with ndiswrapper.

What failed with your current device and ndiswrapper?

Often there are specific instructions for each distro to get it to work. Did you consult the ndiswrapper wiki? The card compatability list shows that it does work.
