Most manufacturers don't bundle Linux drivers because, unlike Windows,
almost all drivers in Linux are part of the kernel. Since you didn't
include any information about the wifi card other than that it's a
Netgear, I'd suggest trying a Google search for the model number and
ndiswrapper. I'm sure you'll get some good information.
