NETGEAR MA311 - Network adapter - PCI - 802.11b
A perfectly fine wireless networking card
I purchased a couple of MA311s and MA401 and a MR814 access point.  Installation was very simple.  It installs like most other PCI cards but the instructions say to install the drivers and configuration utility first.  I installed the MA311s in a Windows Me machine and a Windows 98SE box and both went in without a hitch.  The antenna is removeable which facilitates installation and onced installed is easily oriented to maximize signal reception.  Signal strength is very good.  The router is on the third floor and one computer is on the first.  Signal strength is well above 70% and Link strength is >80%.  <br />The configuration software is easy to use and setup.  Offers basic functions that support WEP and MAC address filtering of the router.  <br />Overall a solid wireless networking card and with the current rebate offered by Netgear a fair deal.
