Re: Netgear WG511

IMO, getting it to work on older distros, like say Red Hat 9, is 
definitely not a process for someone without a fair amount of 
experience.  But it's probably easy on the newer distros, maybe even a 
non-event on the newer 2.6 distros, now that it's part of the standard 
kernel.
