To answer my own question, NetGear WG311 works with the madwifi-driver
package, at least in Managed mode (host-ap doesn't seem to work)

I have the same wireless card and I think it's a good piece of hardware, 
but I have some problems: the download never goes over 500 KB/sec, and 
the cpu load gets high. A friend of mine (with the same card) doesn't 
experience this. What could be wrong?

Please keep in mind that these D-Link products only get 22Mbps with other
D-Link products.. I'm sure most of you knew that, but better safe then sorry
:) and it't not even close to an 802.11g card, it's an 802.11b card with
extra special d-link stuff to make it get to 22Mbps.

I strongly suspect the D-Link DWL-650+ is being talked about here. It's
not a true 802.11g card as far as I know, but it does have 22Mbps
speeds.

Driver here:
http://acx100.sf.net/

READ the forums there as to how to get it to work. The driver is still 
experimental (0.01c didn't work for me, but 0.01d does).

Check the Wireless-Lan-Howto at

especially its "The Devices, the drivers section" at
http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Linux.Wireless.drivers.html

Does anybody know if there is support for _any_ 802.11g card?

Sorry, my fault - I missed your request for PCI devices; the MA401 surely is a PCMCIA 
card. However, there should be a PCI version of this chipset available from Netgear, I 
guess same praises apply for this one. Best regards,

Hi Ian,

I'm using a Netgear MA401 wireless card with gentoo; it works well. I have to plug in 
the card after init finishes and starts the user session, but besides from that there's 
no problem. I use a Netgear MR314 wireless DSL router which is the most stable network 
device that I've used for years.

I also have a d-Link card at home, but I didn't manage to get it going with linux. Under 
windows however it seems to work all right. Regards,

-  Christian

I use a linksys card with very good results. I would stay away from D-Link
as they seem to be lesser quality and change a lot (this could effect any
possible hardware mods or results with software drivers). I have no
experience with NetGear.
