In the past for the 32 bit version of Ubuntu I have installed the netgear driver: W3G11v3.inf using ndiswrapper. From looking around and figuring out how to install the driver for w3g11 in Windows 7 with 4+ gigs of RAM I found that I needed to use the Marvell driver: netmw13.inf. Using ndisgtk when I click to install the driver the application freezes. It later states that the driver is installed though when I "ifconig -a" no wireless is shown. "sudo modprobe ndiswrapper" just hangs and does not work.

How do I get this working?

... SOLVED

For anyone else that had this issue...

This was a major pain though...

Install this: http://endlessbeta.org/misc/wg311v3_ndis_amd64.tar.bz2

with ndiswrapper and all will work well

my opinion, ndiswrapper is a stop-gap fail that should have ended a year or two ago. "vote with your wallet" about what wireless chipset companies you support. – aking1012 Feb 20 at 0:25
What wireless card would you get? – matt Feb 20 at 0:34
I like anything atheros. Alfa used to be decent, but the dev has stalled and it's only advantage is that a lot of their cards have USB passthrough support. – aking1012 Feb 20 at 0:35
