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

Hi Joachim

Thanks for the assistance. I compiled and setup the latest I could
find from linux-wlan downloads (0.2.1-pre26). One of the Makefiles had
to be debugged but other than that, didn't have any issues there
(phew!).

I'm currently online through my wlan0 - that should say it all! :)
DHCP is working too. hooray! The only problem is, I have to plug in my
usb stick after I have booted. Guess I'll live with that for now.

Thanks!!
Deepa
