Its not a netgear router, its a Westell Versalink Model 327W router running wired internet on my Windows XP only computer and it has to communicate to my other computer by means of my Netgear WG111 wich is a USB WIFI device. In windows all i had to do was plug it in and it worked. But in linux, it doesnt work at all. Any sugestions would be great. Thanks again Knoppix people.
