I think we're getting our model numbers wrong - it should be Netgear WG111, not WMP111, right?
Sadly, your driver is the new "islsm" branch of the prism54 driver, which is only in early stages of development.  It officially only supports 2.6 kernels, so the makefile would have to be hacked.  I just downloaded the source now, and the compile goes crazy.  Sorry.

hmmm - where did I cross my wires at?

WG111 is correct - it is a usb device - the sn starts with wg7214 ... which I believe is a v1 device..(according to NG's website) although the flipside of the device says v2.

The output of lsusb -vvv is
0846:4240 which has the Prism54 chipset...

but - as you stated - I'm understanding it is needing a newer islsm 'branch of the Prism54' driver...

All is not lost - the machine will run with the device in win98se - other tests I've performed on the machine usually show a quicker response with DSL... which is the main reason I'm wishing to switch over...

So - I'll just wait till that is updated...

Thanks for your help, tempestuous!
