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.

(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: Thank You.!! Very Good Netgear wg111v2 windows 10 64 bit driver.Probably to late now but I have a working WN111 v2 on Jaunty.
