Has anyone got this USB wireless adapter to work with Arch? At first it worked fine, just using the "ifconfig wlan0 up..." route, but now it becomes disconnected after a couple of minutes. So I removed the 'rtl' driver with modprobe, and then attempted to install the driver from the CD that came with it using ndiswrapper. I looked online, and mine reports an "0846:6a00" under 'lsusb', which apparently is worse than the other version of this adapter. NDISWrapper says that the driver is installed, but now 'wlan0' is nowhere to be found. Has anybody done this before?

I have the wg111v3 runnning with native rtl8187. The module is autodetected and wireless is set up with netcfg2. The wiki have a good article about netcfg, and all the examples should be enough.
But as I've mentioned earllier, for me it is very buggy. I freequently experience speed drops ( to a fixed amount also) and so far I have had no luck with fixing it. On the other hand many people it works flawlessly.

Yeah that's the case with me too. I even went as far as to install Windows 98 on the computer I was using, and installing with the CD, and it still does the same thing? But that has never happened to my network before, so I'm blaming it on the adapter. I'm gonna take it back and get the Linksys equivalent, hopefully it will at least work with Windows.

...it did the same thing with Windows, so I looked into it a bit more. I found something about changing the channel on my router to 2 instead of 6, and after doing that, it seems to be working flawlessly on Windows and now my new Arch installation. Just thought I'd post to say that.
