I was really digging them until about 6 months ago when they changed
the chipset and it started requiring that you ping from a remote host
before the driver would come up.  Netgear distributed a fixed driver
for Linux -- in a Self-extracting ZIP file.  <sigh>

I don't know if these changes have been propogated into a production
kernel.
