I installed the driver for the device and hotplug recognizes it, applies the driver, and sets it as wlan0.
dmesg gets this:

there is no /etc/init.d/net.wlan0
I have no experience in linux, and I have no idea what the next step is to do.
All of the guides I've read say to just configure and you're ready to go, but none of them mention anything like this happening.
I'm using a Netgear MA101 rev.b USB WiFi Access Point.
Can someone please help me with what I should do next?
