Is a Linux driver available for the NETGEAR WG111v3 USB Wireless Adapter?

I have looked around but so far I cannot locate a Linux driver for the NETGEAR WG111v3 USB Wireless Adapter. There are drivers for Mac OSX and multiple versions of Microsoft Windows, but nothing for Linux as far as I can tell.  I am interested in such a driver with just about any level of refinement (from commercial software to unsupported, beta, "as is", etc) and any distro-specific focus. Many thanks!

    If the Netgear support pages for the device do not offer drivers, then you will have to find them somewhere else, if they exist.

     

    Netgear does not seem to support anything beyond Windows and Macs.

     

    If you visit the support pages:

    Support | NETGEAR

    you can feed in your model number and find the documentation for your hardware.

    It will also have any firmware and drivers for your device.
