here is the link: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4431453 will this work? when i boot into xiaopan, it shows no wireless cards installed. not even the built in one inside the laptop
Depends. If it is the V2 then it should work, since it uses compat-wireless and the carl9170 driver. But if it is the Marvell no it will not http://www.wikidevi.com/wiki/Netgear_WN111v2 since there is no Linux driver. Which means you are going to have a real bad time. I do not recommend using one of these for WiFi hacking or using with Xiaopan. Support rejected as rejected because there is a duplicate thread with more information: wn111v2 Not Being Detected in Xiaopan Slitaz v2 in VMware
