Netgear wn111v2 driver windows 7 driver#

Hi guys, anyone know what driver versions you're running? I've got the files for driver version 3.0.0.131 from Microsoft Support in a. I'm leaving the below here as it was for 8 weeks, but meanwhile I am using Karmic Koala and have out-of-the-box support for the WN111v2. I dont remember what version of the kernel I ended up with. Then i followed the rest of the instructions listed by others already, and rebooted, and it worked fine. debs, and then special compat-wireless compiled.

I had transferred over some linux-header packages, though, for some reason I cant remember (was it a dependency of build-essential? or linux-backport-modules?). Then I tried the special compat-wireless tarball from flash63.

Netgear wn111v2 driver windows 7 install#

(I got this package by using apt-get install -download, again transferring via usb disk and using dpkg -i) I also tried using linux-backport-modules by itself + firmware, but this didn't work either. Upgrading to kernel 2.6.30 and installing firmware, by itself, didnt work. deb package files, transfer with a usb disk, and then used dpkg -i to install those. I used a working ubuntu internet machine to download. I am sorry that I don't have access to any ubuntu machines right now, or a wn111v2 so I cannot remember exactly what I did, nor test which parts are necessary and unnecessary.įirst i tried kernel 2.6.30 (from PPA) by itself. I was able to get a wn111v2 working on ubuntu 9.04 on a machine with no other internet access. I wanted to say thank you to John Stiles and morloch and excogitation and flash63 and to elektronenblitz63 over on the german pages and many others. I have not used this last method but it seems to involve installing git for the firmware/module and probably still needs compat-wireless. I have backports installed as well but am unsure if this is necessary for the above.Īlternatively, go to the official Linux wireless page for the ar9170 module, and certainly good information: Jaunty automatically adds to network manager applet. # move firmware/module to correct location Sudo apt-get install -reinstall linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential # download and install compat-wireless with driver/modules There is a native ar9170 linux driver ref: What can I do if my hardware does not work?Probably to late now but I have a working WN111 v2 on Jaunty. Thanks for your time and understanding!įor more details, please l ook at the first Sticky thread at the top of this forum.

Netgear wn111v2 driver windows 7 upgrade#

I suggest that you should wait for another period of time till the retail version is released and push the vendor company to upgrade their device driver. If the problem still persists, please understand that Windows 7 is a new operating system (only the beta version) and whole driverstore has been reprogrammed some old driver is not compatible with new OS. In addition, you can use the Windows XP driver for testing. Remove and rescan that hardware device in Device Manager, right-click on the driver executable/installer file and select the Compatibility tab click the checkbox before Run this program in Compatibility mode for option and select Windows Vista in the list-down box then try installing the device driver. I'd suggest you installing the Vista driver in Compatibility mode.
