Networking :: How to get my Wireless card to work

Im not sure if its compatible(Netgear WG111v2),but most of the Netgear cards are compatible.Ok,so I know nothing(almost) on using Linux,can someone please tell me how I can get my Wireless card to work in DSL?

Compatibility is dependent upon chipset ... I think yours is PrismGT ... you should confirm this yourself.

If so, DSL has the right driver for you - prism54, but the firmware and firmware.agent files are missing.

You can get the latest firmware at http://prism54.org/fullmac.html ver 1.0.4.3 (edited, Dec05)
Rename it "isl3890" and put it in /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/

And you can get firmware.agent as part of the hotplug source .gz from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=17679
Extract this in a temporary directory, then just move (or copy) firmware.agent into /etc/hotplug/

Thank You

Hello All,

I am trying to do this cause I´m using a Netgear Pcmcia too. But DSL-Live System says that File system is read only.

I´m using DSL-1.5 Live CD.

Thanks,

I think you just need to run /etc/init.d/mkwriteable first.
Be careful, Netgear uses chipsets from several different manufacturers, and the drivers are different for each.
Check your chipset here - http://linux-wless.passys.nl/
