Problem for NetGear : WG111 54 Mbps Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter, RETAIL...

Yesterday we subscribed to a DSL service

Yesterday we subscribed to a DSL service (Hughesnet) and also had a TrendNet wireless router installed in our PC so my Mac G5 could use the service, too. Come to find out, my Mac doesn't have a wireless card--it was handed down to me from our college's networked student lab. The Hughesnet rep left me a Netgear WG111 wireless USB adapter, but it didn't seem to work when I plugged it into one of the USB ports. Now, I'm not sure what I need, or what else I need to know about my computer, to get my computer online. Recommendations? Thanks!

- Oops! Answers beget more questions: I see by the driver's download instructions that I have to choose the correct adapter in the Configure list. Last night the Netgear adapter didn't show up in the list. Is it possible I didn't put the Netgear wireless adapter thumb drive in the right USB port? Or...? It is unfortunately version 2, by the way.

What you probably need is a driver for your adapter and that is easy to fix.
Go to Netgear's support page here and check which version of the adapter you have (version 1, 2, or 3).
I personally hope it is version 3 since the older ones are limited in their compatibility with Mac OS.

Then follow the link for your version.
On the next page you will see a tab saying "Downloads", where you can find the necessary driver.

Just download and install.

If you have any more questions, just come back here and leave a comment - I'm happy to help.
