Wi-Fi Pringles Can Yagi Antenna
Like many would-be 802.11b hackers, I'm increasingly obsessed with pushing more bits further and faster for less cost (I believe the unofficial goal of our community wireless project is to provide infinite bandwidth everywhere for free. Of course, there are problems with approaching infinity, but it's still fun to try!) The work that Andrew Clapp and others have done is helping to demystify the ancient black magick of Resonance (i.e. antenna building). And so, over last weekend, some friends and I decided to give it a go for ourselves.Install your Netgear wg111v2 using ndiswrapper. Some have reported success using the existing rtl8187 driver, but I recommend against it. Your first task is to confirm which hardware you're actually using. Ubuntu Forum member, kvonb, figured out that some of the wg111v2's actually use the wg111v1 chipset - they're essentially mislabeled. His recommendation for discovering which hardware you're using requires that you plug it in, and run: (*The light on your hardware may or may not work.

This list is arranged in several columns: Manufacturer, wireless lan type, product ID, Vendor and product code, host I/F, chipset, driver, works native with Linux and additional comments (depending on the search you did, one of the columns is the header). Drivers are defined as Linux native drivers, so no Linuxant driverloader or Ndiswrapper. For more info on specific chipset development, and which drivers are available for which cards (yes, there are more drivers available for some cards), checkout Jean Tourrilhes page . His page contains some outlines about the driver development, history, versions and maintainers.

If you are buying a new computer, it is best to select one with a wireless component that is designed for free software like Linux. A card designed for free software gives you improved support. Free software compatible devices also work out of the box. The Free Software Foundation recommends a few chipsets including: Ralink 2500/RT2400 (802.11G), Realtek RTL8180 (802.11G), and the Atheros AR9170 chipset (802.11N).
