Everything was good until I upgraded to the newer "Feisty Fawn" version of ubuntu, now we're back to the drawing board. I have no wifi and sometimes I have no keyboard or mouse either. If any of the following instructions (which I'm copying and pasting here for convenience) mean anything to you then you have my sympathy:
lsusb | grep NetGear
The output will show one of two devices: 0846:4240 is the v2. If you're using v1, you can follow the same steps, but the driver you install will be different.
STEP: Blacklist the existing drivers:
Code:
sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
Copy and paste the following to the bottom of the file. Save it. Close it.
Code:
#wg111v2 conflicting drivers
blacklist islsm_pci
blacklist islsm
blacklist islsm_usb
blacklist prism2_usb
blacklist rtl8187
blacklist r8187b
blacklist r8187
STEP: Download the driver from Netgear
Select version 1.3 (if you're using v2). Download wg111v2_1_3_0.zip to your desktop. Right-click on the file and extract it to your desktop. For ease of use, rename the extracted folder to: "NetgearV2".
STEP: Configure NDISWRAPPER. Edit path as necessary. One command at a time.
sudo ndiswrapper -i ~/Desktop/NetgearV2/Driver/WIN98/net111v2.inf
sudo depmod -a
sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
sudo ndiswrapper -m
STEP: Add the module to /etc/modules
sudo gedit /etc/modules
Copy and paste the following to the bottom of the file. Save it. Close it.
ndiswrapper
STEP: Reboot your machine. Insert your wg111v2. Confirm proper installation:
ndiswrapper -l
Now I'm on the new version I'm getting the same old "Error inserting ndiswrapper... Invalid argument" when I try to modprobe my ndiswrapper (mrs)... how on earth is a user who's less technical than me (and there must be some out there) meant to cope with this?
There is a hack out there that I used on an earlier version of the operating system, where there was an error with the version of ndiswrapper that was installed by default (1.1), and by deleting that and replacing it with ndiswrapper-1.8 everything was OK. The only searches I can find for my current problem lead me back to this same hack, BUT the newer distribution already comes with ndiswrapper-1.9, so this is no help at all.
UPDATE: even worse, now I am fast becoming the top result when searching for this error, and I have no solution still! There are still no up to date solutions on ubuntuforums.org as far as I can see, my specific error message regarding Error inserting ndiswrapper... Invalid argument still brings me back to a solution involving updating to a version of ndiswrapper that's older than the one I have.
Despite itchypaws' best efforts, this is giving me a headache.

Feisty female four-piece TWIST play at the Water Rats next week...
KING among London indie-toilet venues, The Water Rats at Kings Cross REOPENS next week... Fierce Panda's own feisty four-piece TWIST are headlining the night, on Tuesday the 28th of March, with support from Basement 69 and Hydra Vega...
Capacity is now set at 200... NO, make that 199, because there's a space at the front with my name on it.
