I have a Netgear WG511 (54 Mbps). Works well if you are willing to
install a recent kernel or compile the drivers. I also have a Netgear
MA701 (11 Mbps). That one worked with the standard YDL kernel but it
needs a cf -> pcmcia adapter. I have yet another card but that doesn't
fit into the slot of my powerbook. It is too thick at the end.
