help me install my Netgear N600 USB adapter please

Post by Miker107 »

Good afternoon everyone. Brand new Linux user here so you will have to excuse my ignorance. I am running Linux Mint 16 cinnamon on a Dell (cant remember the exact model) Cinnamon 32 bit, version 2.0.14, Intel Pentium 4 CPU 2.80 GHx, 1 gig memory, and 200 gig hard drive, NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GS video card.
I just purchased the Netgear N600 USB Adapter, model WNDA3100, and I can't seem to locate the drivers and sys files for this to set it up with Ndiswapper.
I ran lsusb in the terminal and came up with the following:
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0846:9011 NetGear, Inc. WNDA3100v2 802.11abgn [Broadcom BCM4323]
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 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

Can someone out there please help me get this adapter installed? Thanks guys

Never mind guys, I found what I needed here: http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=121731

Sorry for the premature post, and thanks Ski for posting this.

UDPATE: It works, but only for a few minutes, then I have no internet access. What is weird is that it shows that my wireless connection is connected, but I have no internet access. Very strange. A reboot will bring it back, but only for a few minutes.
