You would need to contact netgear.

Personally the only wireless adapters I use no matter which vendor sells them as long as they have the ralink chipset I use them. Ralink are always quick to release drivers.

I have a WG111v2 and the 10.5 drivers would not work with Snow Leopard, but the 10.4 drivers did... So with your WG111v3 see if the 10.4 drivers for it work, it's worth a shot...

Can you help us get to this file with a user name and password? Some of us desperately need it.

Thank you.

I just downloaded the 10.4 driver from Netgear and it worked. I had to uninstall the 10.5 driver first in order to make the 10.4 driver work correctly.

Just a confirmation, and thanks for the tip on the 10.4 driver from Netgear (www.netgear.com). My MacBook AirPort function died and I bought the WG111 as a remedy. I installed the v3 10.5 driver from their page (or attempted to, as it often produces an error during installation) to no avail. I found a couple of possible workarounds from on-line research, but none seemed to work. I uninstalled the 10.5 driver and installed the 10.4 instead and everything worked just fine. I'm running SL 10.6.2 on a 13" black MacBook (2 GHz) machine. No issues at all so far.
