Does anyone know if there is a driver available for the Netgear wg111 usb wireless adapter?

When I plug it in my PenCentra200 asks for the driver and I don't know what to tell it
Thanks

It probably doesn't exist...

Manufacturers usually do not provide WinCE drivers for USB devices. And since this is a "g" adapter, there's even less chance of a generic driver.

It's better for you to get a CF or 16-bit PC Card adapter that is compatible. Check the hardware compatibility library on this site.

If you must use the USB port for wireless, I'm afraid it's not easy, but slightly possible. I've heard one (and only one) report that a very specific USB wireless b adapter works with reference drivers (that normally only developers can get) on a Pocket PC. Here's the whole story:

Just wanna give a heads up that the thread I linked above has been updated significantly since I posted it.

They got the D-Link USB stick-style WiFi adapter to work (which btw is getting very cheap around here), so it's possible you can get other adapters of the same chipset to work as well.
