Netgear WNA1100 not working with Ubuntu 10.10?
in Drivers
I've recently installed 10.10 onto my desktop and have it connected to my modem via Ethernet cable. I could not find any drivers in the software center or the Synaptic Package Manager. In the Terminal I inputted ~$ lsusb and I see that it reads it as a Netgear product, but I don't know how to install drivers/a package so that I may connect to the modem via wireless antenna. in the Terminal this is displayed for the Netgear antenna: Bus 001 Device 010: ID 0846:9030 NetGear, Inc. Any Suggestions, or anyone with the same problem and a solution? Much obliged.

As a note, when using ndiswrapper it is best to run a 32-bit installation because most of the time the manufacturer's drivers only have 32-bit drivers, when you try to run them on a 64-bit system you will experience many errors.
What wizard are you referring to?
I downloaded the XP driver from the website, and it came in an .exe that wanted to run the setup wizard for the wireless card.
Then you didn't follow the instructions in the link I provided.
You will need to install ndiwrapper and cabextract using your distros pacakge management tools, then use cabextract to extract the .inf file from the .exe package, after that is don you can follow the instructions at
