You should probably add your lsusb output too. That's because not all  
WG111 are created equal: IIRC, the WG111 has switched chipsets -- and  
consequently, drivers -- when going from .v2 to .v3. A good resource on  
Linux-compatible wireless adapters is the Backtrack website  
http://www.backtrack-linux.org/ because they also gather information on  
the "monitor" mode of various cards.
