NETGEAR WG311
os:
LinuxWorks perfectly with Windows XP and Linux (Mandrake 10 & SuSE 9.1 tested).
Uses the madwifi(Multiband Atheros Driver for WiFi) drivers for Linux. Drivers were a scoosh to install and it worked perfectly with my Linksys wireless router.
The WG311 uses Atheros chipsets. Atheros is one of the few companies who makes linux drivers! Show your appreciation by buying from vendors who support linux!
Excellent
os:
Windows XPRunning this with Netgear DG834G. Maximum reception via different floors. Running XP 2500 and Asus A7N8X deluxe. No problems.
No problem with Athlon and Windows 2000
os:
Not ApplicableUsing in conjunction with a Netgear DG834G wireless ADSL router, 1.2GHz Athlon on an Abit KT7a motherboard running Windows 2000.
Easy install, transferred over 30Gb from my desktop to laptop in one session with no problems whatsoever, excellent.
Works Great with new drivers
os:
Windows XPI was disapointed when I got this but the latest drivers make this a 5 star product. New drivers are 2.0.0.7.
You can get them here

I use windows xp sp2 and just the drivers. Not all the other software that comes with them I let Windows XP manage the connection. This now works great. The previous drivers were poor.
It now connects as soon as the PC boots up and if you disconnect it it reconnects again without any delay. Works as it should.
No Problem ...
os:
Windows XPPentium 4, XP ( professional )
Followed the installation intructions.
Working in 5 minutes. 48-54Mbps thru2 walls with 128Bit WEP.
Cannot be simplier.
Excellent buy.
Good stuff!
os:
Windows XPGot mainly so I could share a 1Mb internet connection. Extremely easy to set up. Used in conjunction with Netgear DG834G. Strangely enough I got a better connection once all the security was set up properly: WEP 128, Known MAC address only, No broadcast, etc.... I've opted to NOT let windows configure wireless network settings as you have greater control in the Netgear utility. Like I said, it's important to spend time setting up your router and it's security.
Excellent Card
os:
Windows XPI have connected three computer using these cards in conjunction with a NETGEAR WGT624 108Mbps wireless router.
P4 2.4 Ghz (Router with Lan Card)
P3 1.3 Ghz (Wireless Connection with Card)
Athlon 900 Mhz (Wireless Connection with Card)
All using Windows XP-SP1
Once the router was installed, the card automatically found the device.
Set up the workgroup connections using The windows XP set up small office network wizard.
Both machines with cards in get 54mbps connection speed. One downstairs one upstairs.
Been running for almost one year without no problems.
Excellent stable cards
Works in Linux
Netgear Wg311 54mbps 802.11g wireless pci card works fine in Linux with the drivers from www.linuxant.com
the installation is easy, but do not forget that the drivers are not free ( around extra )
reliable hardware otherwise
AMD problems not true
os:
Windows XPI have successfully installed 3 of these cards to various AMD Cpu/Motherboard combinations and they all work perfectly. Asus/MSI/Syntax/Gigabyte all without a single hitch.
After reading up on some of the other 54g cards on the market - these seem to have the best record.
Excellent Card
os:
Windows XPInstalled on a nForce2 motherboard with AMD 2500+ under Windows XP SP2 (latest updates), no problems at all with the install or the drivers.
Utterly outperforms my previous NIC, which was a Belkin 125g series, which was unable to get a signal most of the time and it was a poor signal when it did, this card never fails to get a signal and operates at 24Mbps at least, despite being in a very bad location.
Recommended.
