    Okay, I just spent quite a while configuring my wireless USB dongle (NetGear WG111V2) in NDISwrapper, and I verified that the device is configured and present. Now, I can get a list of available networks, but it won't connect to any of them. I'll click on one, and it will try, then resume its "Not Connected" state.

    WEP or WPA2 key for the network?

    There have been instances that the USB Dongles do not play well with Linux, due to type of device. Is there any way to use any other type of WiFi Device for said computer?

    No. This is the only one I have. I guess, for now, Ill stick to my Windows OS until I get a different card.

    You can still use the LInux partition, but for networking, you may have to tether yourself.
