- Download the most recent Windows drivers from the Netgear site (though recently I could only get the 1.0 drivers to work, not the 2.0 version).
- Unpack the downloaded file and cd to the Driver/WinXP directory.
- Install the driver with
sudo ndiswrapper -i wg311v2.inf
- (Check the installation with
ndiswrapper -l)
- Activate the card with
sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
- (Check for errors with
dmesg)
- (Check for available devices with
iwconfig)
- Open System Configuration>Networking
- Press Add and step through the wizard, selecting 'wireless' connection, then 'wlan0' in the wireless device drop-down menu. Enter the Network name and WEP key, which can both be found using Airport Admin in OS X - press the Password button in the toolbar to show the long hex equivalent password, which is what you have to enter here.
- Select DHCP in the next step, then finish the wizard - the wireless connection should now be active.
- Run
sudo ndiswrapper -m so that it will still work after a reboot.
