Even better than the Netgear though, it's not like you can just slap an Aspire One on your computer.

You are correct that it requires a new kernel. The version of gNewSense came from my bootable FSF Membership card and uses 2.6.28-libre-fsf2. You can also get newer kernels at http://aligunduz.org/gNewSense/<br /><br />-David Scott,

I tried using the Netgear WG111v3 on my Thinkpad T60p running gNewSense, and I have not yet gotten it to work. My brief searching seems to indicate that the free ath9k driver for the WG111v3 requires a 2.6.27 kernel. Current (2.3) gNewSense uses a 2.6.24 kernel. So, I'm confused about how you got the WG111v3 to work right out of the box with gNewSense. Any help I would appreciate.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />Scott Thanks for the post.

I'm thinking of making the switch from Ubuntu to GnewSense soon and I know I'll need one of those too.<br /><br />If others want to help document what works and what doesn't, see this page:<br /><br />http://wiki.gnewsense.org/Main/LaptopGuide<br /><br />Cheers!
