[plug] Just works wireless card.

[Coral and Ben]

I might add also that netgear don't support 64 bit on windows, let alone 
linux, I was unable to use mine on any 64 bit system, as I was unable to 
find a 64 bit windows driver. Also I believe the wg311v2 wont work on 
linux with ndiswrapper or any native linux modules, jason - is yours 
definately a v3?

anyway I tend to agree though that a card that uses native drivers would 
be preferable, although I have had flawless service from mine with 
ndiswrapper
