I've got a Netgear WG311 (v2) wireless networking PCI card. Netgear do not provide any drivers for Vista at all, and after a bit of investigation they don't even seem to support XP64 so drivers are unlikely to be released soon. One suggestion I've seen says to try the Atheros chipset drivers, as its these that Netgear cards are based, however I can't find any Vista drivers anywhere - has anyone had any luck with Netgear cards or know where to find Vista Atheros drivers?

Netgear WG311 Atheros chipset drivers
radionotme,
I just installed Vista on a Intel 945 NGTl Motherboard.
Vista did not recognize the Wireless device at first. I simply installed the software CD that came with the card. Using "Device Manager", I simply directed the driver search to the installation CD from Netgear. I then used the built in Wireless program from Windows to scan for the SSID I created and in seconds I was up and running. I then removed the Netgear software from the "Start-up", and let Windows handle the connection duties.
My install was Vista 32 Bit Build 5384 Same Netgear Card WG311 (V.2)
Good Luck.

I ended up just connecting via ethernet, and then Windows found the drivers online and it all works fine!
Now, to sort out my soundcard...;-)
