Wireless Problem

[Vince Radice]

Hi,

     I am having a problem trying to get a Netgear WNA3100 adapter 
working.  I have probably been through 100+ posts and threads trying to 
figure out what is happening.  I have attached two files.  One contains 
the output from dmesg.  The other has the output from several commands 
as requested in the doc.

     I have the latest of all of the commonly used software - 
ndiswrapper, Broadcom STA, Fedora FC16 with all updates, b43-fwcutter, 
and a lot more that I can't remember.

     The pc I am using has an ethernet connection.  I am trying to get 
the wireless working there.  I am not able to successfully connect to my 
home wireless network.  I can somewhat connect by manually assigning the 
IP address.  It will connect and assign an IP address but I can't do 
anything.  If I try ping, I get host unreachable.

     My question stems from a lack of what to do.  Looking at your 
documentation, I see references to b43-fwcutter.  Do I have to do 
something with that program? I have read what it does, but no where have 
I read anything about me having to do something to get the firmware.

     Another question is which drivers should I be using - Broadcom STA, 
b43, or ndiswrapper with windows drivers for xp?  I have tried to get 
all of these working at some point.  I may have tried running several at 
the same time as I don't know how to check what is being used.  I can 
list what is installed.

     Should I open a thread some place?  If so, I was thinking the 
Networking forum at Fedora.  I found your site listed in one recent post 
there.  I could add to it.

     Thanks in advance for any help and advice you give.
