I did have one problem with my NetGear card. When I tried to run a sniffer app, can't remember which version, my card would not reset until I did something to it (I'm a bit fuzzy on the details right now, but I have notes). If I remember correctly, the light was constantly flashing, not solidly on. If you have been playing with kismet or some other similiar program, let me know and I'll dig up my old notes and find out what I did to fix it. Was a bit frustrating at first, but was an easy fix. I also don't remember off hand if this was with OZ or Sharp ROM.
