Both of my Netgear WG511T PCMCIA cards say "MADE IN CHINA" on the back and 
they both work fine under Slackware Linux, with the 'MADWiFi' (Atheros 
chipset) driver. Both were purchased in Aug 2005 at Staples ($40 [$50 - $10 
rebate] apiece). They don't see a lot of use, but I've never had any problems 
whatsoever.

Just curious -- what sort of problems are/were you having?
