Networking :: MA111 v2

no, it's fine - that is by default design for a frugal install.

So how do the drivers remain installed after reboot?

Read the Getting Started document

Thanks.

So back onto the MA111 problem. What else can I try to get it working?

You should not mix the native prism2 setup with the ndiswrapper setup.

The USB Netgear MA111 works with either the native prism2 or ndiswrapper. In fact, you should be able to use either of the two GUI setup tools provided.

If you choose to manually configure using ndiswrapper then after confirmation of the ndiswrapper -l command the next command should be

sudo modprobe ndiswrapper

This should provide the device wlan0 which you can confirm by the iwconfig command with no parameters. If you don't see a device then no point going further. You will need an appropriate .inf and .sys.

If you wish to do everything manually then use the appropriate iwconfig commands or you may wish to use the wlcardconfig tool

Whenever you are configuring wireless, you should boot your machine with the nodhcp boot option.
