Re: wlan 802.11 driver for netgear usb adapter MA111 (0x846/0x4110)

[Deepa D <indebber@gmail.com>]

Hi Joachim,

Thanks for responding. I have compiled usb-uhci and usb-ohci
controllers compiled into the kernel and therefore, I have no modules
for either of them.

I have a few questions though - would be very grateful if you could answer them:

1. My kernel is 2.4.18. Is yours the same or a later version? Do you
remember applying any relevant patch?

2. What is the version of the linux-wlan-ng drivers that you're using
successfully?

I suspect that my problem will be solved if I find the right version
number. I did try the latest but it requires some library files for
which I'd have to migrate to a different kernel - too much work :(. So
I'm trying to find the version that's not necessarily the latest and
yet be able to support the device.

Thanks!!
Deepa
