http://ubuntuforums.org – Hello all, I am in a predicament getting Ubuntu to recognize my USB wireless adapter. When I entered "lsusb" I got the following: Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0846:9020 NetGear, Inc. WNA3100(v1) Wireless-N 300 [Broadcom BCM43231] Of course, this was for the one particular hardware. What sort of Linux sorcery will I have to do in order to get Ubuntu to recognize this adapter and therefore make it work? Thanks in advance. (Hardware)

I'm trying to see if I can make ubuntu recognize my wireless adapter which is a Netgear wna3100 that uses Broadcom BCM43231.

Hi, After googling around, I followed some of the steps I'd seen in this forum to get the usb adapter working.

lsusb Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0846:9020 NetGear, Inc. WNA3100(v1) Wireless-N 300 [Broadcom BCM43231]

I have standard 11.10 that I upgraded, arch is i686

I downloaded ndiswrapper using the Ubuntu Software Center.

Ok my dell's internal wifi card works fine, but i bought a usb adapter to obtain a stronger signal but i cant seem to get it to work and ditch my internal all togather, it has the proper drivers.

here is a little output if it helps Bus 002 Device 004: ID 0846:9020 NetGear, Inc. WNA3100(v1) Wireless-N 300 [Broadcom BCM43231]

So I installed a partition on my computer that has Ubuntu, but there's a big issue. My NetGear wireless internet adapter (WNA3100) doesn't work. I was using this guide here: http://matthew-4gl.wikispaces.com/wna3100_ubuntu_linux and it worked up until I typed the command sudo make install.

I'm dual clienting windows vista and ubuntu 11.10, and i have it set to where i can choose which i use at startup. Now the problem i'm having is that i use and external usb wireless adapter and i can't figure out how to either install the program that runs it or even make ubuntu find it.
