Hello,

lsusb

Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0846:9001 NetGear, Inc. WN111(v2) RangeMax Next Wireless [Atheros AR9001U-(2)NG]
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

iwconfig

lo no wireless extensions

eth0 no wireless extensions

Im fairly new to linux but have used it extensively in the past
I have tried ndiswrapper but installed over windows so that wont work
tried to get 0.2.1-pre20 didnt have much luck getting it
mainly I have tried to download networking tools to try and detect it, alot of the stuf I have read talks about wlan0 but I dont seem to have that on here.
thanks
rob
