===== Netgear WG111 =====

+
<b>Configuring the WG111 to use WPA-PSK on a wireless network</b>
+
 
+
This card works very well in Knoppix 3.9 using ndiswrapper, but is as of yet untested in other versions of Knoppix (to my knowledge).
+
 
+
*'''Commands:
+
Assuming that the drivers are on the cd in /dev/cdrom, then
+
  mount /dev/cdrom/ /mnt/cdrom/
+
 
+
Find '''ndiswrapper configuration''' under Knoppix->Network/Internet and select '''netwg111.inf''' from '''/mnt/cdrom'''.  After that finishes, create the configuration file that you will need shortly using the following command:
+
wpa_passphrase MySSIDHere MyPassphraseHere > /home/knoppix/wpa_supplicant.conf
+
Now, use your favorite text editor (if you don't have one, try Kate under the menu item '''Editors''') and edit the
+
'''/home/knoppix/wpa_supplicant.conf''' you just created (see sample below).
+
 
+
With that completed, run the following command. '''Warning:''' As it is, the command will monopolize your current command window with potentially useful debugging output, including your encryption key; add '''-B''' if you would rather run it in the background (useful when you know it works already), remove '''-K''' to hide your key.
+
sudo wpa_supplicant -ddKt -i wlan0 -c /home/knoppix/wpa_supplicant.conf -Dndiswrapper
+
 
+
The following grabs an IP address if you use DHCP from your router.
+
sudo pump -i wlan0
+
 
+
And finally, tell Knoppix where to go to find the internet.
+
sudo route add default gw ''<Gateway/Router IP address here>''
+
 
+
*'''wpa_supplicant.conf
+
Note: the bold lines were added in the editing steps for my Linksys WRT54G Router to accept the card.  See the Useful Links at the end for a full explanation of all options that can be put in here.
