[plug] Just works wireless card.

[Michael]

I'd suggest being *real* careful of those Netgear cards and their 
drivers... I tried this card and used to have some kind of problem 
with memory. Something was writing to memory is shouldn't. This was 
creating corruption of data in I/O... corruption of video & textures 
etc... Essentially everything passing through RAM could be corrupted 
randomly.

Found the cause, it was either the netgear drivers (x86_64 btw) or that 
netgear card.

Cheers
