I forgot to mention that DSL already has ndiswrapper. So what you need is:

1) The windows driver for your network card. Both the .inf file and the .sys file. I don't think the .cat and such are required, but save them anyway.

That's it. Plus the DSL CD, which you have, and your wireless device, which you have.

It appears there are two versions of your card. Either v1 or v2. If yours doesn't have a v? specified, it is probably v1. Make sure you get the right one from netgear's site. Or, if you have the install CD, excellent.

So:

1) Boot windows. Put the Netgear .inf and .sys and .cat files into a directory, say c:\wireless

2) Reboot into DSL

3) Open an xterm. Type the following commands:
Code Sample
mount /mnt/hda1
cd /mnt/hda1/wireless
ndiswrapper -i netwg111.inf
modprobe ndiswrapper
pump -i wlan0


Good luck, and merry Christmas
