>>From the docs on this page:

In the freshly unzipped Netgear WG111 software directory,
I have these files:
Acrobat/
AUTORUN.exe
autorun.inf
Doc/
ndis5/
netwg111.cat
netwg111.inf
Utility/
wg111_9x.sys
wg111nd5.sys
According to the “2. Install your Windows driver” section,
I am to concern myself with these files:
netwg111.inf
wg111_9x.sys
wg111nd5.sys
# ndiswrapper -i netwg111.inf
should create /etc/ndiswrapper/netwg111/, copy all
the necessary files, and create a configuration (.conf) file.
For me, I get this:
/etc/ndiswrapper/netwg111/
netwg111.inf
No .sys or .conf files to be found. Of course, the next guess
is to manually copy over the .sys files…
/etc/ndiswrapper/netwg111/
netwg111.inf
wg111_9x.sys
wg111nd5.sys
# modprobe ndiswrapper
# dmesg
generates this:
ndiswrapper: unsupported module, tainting kernel.
ndiswrapper version 0.8 loaded
Unknown symbol: USBD.SYS:_USBD_CreateConfigurationRequestEx@8

Unknown symbol: ntoskrnl.exe:IoFreeIrp

Unable to prepare driver
(Perhaps errors are related to the lack of a .conf file?)
According to the docs, it should, instead, read something like
this:
ndiswrapper: unsupported module, tainting kernel.
ndiswrapper version 0.8 loaded
ndiswrapper: driver netwg111 added
