Hmm... Interesting, I have 2 Netgear cards... both work beautifully... one's prism54 base (a WG511 v2 Made in Taiwan, and what's currently plugged in), and a WG511T which is atheros based. (Actually, I lied, I've got 3 Netgear cards... the third, however, is a broken Made in China v3 WG511, so not worth mentioning ;)
The WPN311 that I have is about as reliable as Rick Waller tap dancing on a wobbly tray in the land of Chocolate. And that's saying something.
For quick and easy I'd say the WG511T is not bad, even Jenny got one of those to work. The madwifi driver "just works" (tm), once you've got it compiled up :)
Most of the other crap on the market is broadcom based, at least in my experience.
Yes, I'd like to avoid Broadcom at all costs.
