Hi Michael,

Check out my detailed post (circa Aug 2005):

Bottom Line: Netgear WG511T works well (Slackware 10.2 currently). At least 
one other GLLUG user (Charles Ulrich, IIRC) had a similar experience with that 
card.

In fact, a Toshiba Satellite "2100 CDT" is the machine I most often use the 
card with.

HTH....
