I've got a laptop with an internal G series adapter that I'm trying to improve performance with a USB N series adapter. I chose the Netgear WNA1100 since I saw good reports of its compatibility on the Ubuntu forums. I have installed ndiswrapper, ndisgtk and the other supporting packages. I have also acquired the inf and sys files from a WinXP install and copied them to the HDD. I proceeded to use the GUI ndiswrapper tool to install the driver for the adapter and it began working. I was able to switch to it from the Network Management applet and was transferring data over the Internet.
However, after I rebooted the computer, I have never been able to get the little beast to work again. I've tried 'modprobe ndiswrapper'. I've tried adding ndiswrapper to /etc/modules and rebooting, but nothing has worked. The ndis wrapper tool reports that the driver is installed and that the hardware is present. Running lsusb shows that the devise is plugged into Bus 002, Device 003 and correctly identifies what it is.
So the question is what do I need to do to get it to work?
Thanks for the help.
