Lol. Netgear, you mean the WG511 that has had 3 different chips over the
years, but still retained the same product number?
(Don't worry, they did it to the WG311 desktop adapter as well :S )

If anyone does post a followup, can they add any specifics?
Yunno, like whether it's a XXXXv5 or the first five digits of the serial
number...
