I have tried using a netgear WG121 & ndiswrapper with no success. I get the messages

ndiswrapper version 1.14 loaded (preempt=no,smp=yes)
usb.c: registered new driver ndiswrapper
ndiswrapper: driver netwg121 (NETGEAR, Inc.,11/13/2003, 1.0.5.1000) loaded

ndiswrapper (miniport_init:273): couldn't initialize device: C0010006
ndiswrapper (pnp_start_device:497): Windows driver couldn't initialize the device (C0000001)

Does anybody have any ideas?

Using the same procedure on dsl-n does work - maybe the ndiswrapper in dsl is a bit old?

I don't think ndiswrapper is too old. It was just recently upgraded. See change logs. Your netgear driver is from which windows platform? Try drivers for other window paltforms. The driver you are trying to use is dated 2003 and that is not referring to the ndiswrapper.

Yes, that's the latest for NT/2000/XP. There is a win98 driver as well that I will try...

The reason that I thought that ndiswrapper might be a bit old is that there are different options in DSL-N

From the ndiswrapper sourceforge page:

# Card: NETGEAR WG121 Wireless USB2.0 Adapter
Chipset: Prism54 (I don't know more)
usbid: 0846:4200
Driver: WG121 Software Version 2.0, NETGEAR Inc.,03/09/2004, from http://www.netgear.com
Other: Seems to work well. I had to upload the new firmware by running the installation on WinXP, but now it works. If anyone knows another way, please edit this. I used the drivers in the ndis5-directory of the unzipped download.
