Recently I'm trying to install Mac OSX onto my Intel box and I brought the Netgear WG111-100USR from TigerDirect in Canada for testing purposes. It is a refurbished one. USB dongle. CAN$17.99. The version is WG111v2.

Knoppix 5.1.1 does not recognize WG111v2 at boot time, but when I use the ndiswrapper method, it works and I'm now using it with knoppix 5.1.1. to post this reply.

For more info on setting up the ndiswrapper, check out the following FAQ

I also tried the USB wireless device on a P3 machine with USB 1.1 port and surprisingly it works. This is the first time I have a USB wireless device works on a USB 1.1 machine. And I am impressed.

Rgds,
