I've found that the web interface on the LinkSys BEVFP41 VPN boxes to be a bit picky, frequently not working properly from Linux browsers, opera, and mozilla (I haven't tried konquerer). Mozilla usually works better than opera, and I've often used that on customer machines via an ssh connection with X11 forwarding. When I'm configuring them in-house, I usually use Internet Exploder from one of our Apple OS X boxes. Generally the Netgear web interface adheres to standards, and works well with any browser I've tried. Unfortunately, the last time I did any serious testing on their VPN boxes, I found they didn't talk nice to Linux FreeS/WAN or the *BSD* racoon IPSec.
