Zorin OS 9 and WNDR3100v2 wireless usb adapter

Hello,

I have just installed Zorin 9. I am trying to connect to the internet through a Netgear WNDR3100v2 usb adapter. I am not able to do so. the adapter lights up and I have tried to run the software that comes with it as well. The only thing I can think of that could be the issue is that I have not connected via a wrired connection to do any updates yet.

At first, as you said, find a wired connection and do all the updates, and then try again to connect the usb adapter.

The uodates can be done in terminal by using the following commands:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

If it does not work post back here the result of the following command (the adapter should be plugged in):

Hi madvinegar - will those packages you provided (and I reposted) for version one of that dongle work? I know it will still mean the user installng ndis-dkms and ndis-source before it will work - also needing wired connection.

These packages are essential if you are going to use and install ndiswrapper.

In case the native drivers will not work, then I was also going to suggest using ndiswrapper with the winXP drivers.
