If you're RH8, go into Network settings and you can choose Add to add a 
wireless device. Good luck. There's support for all kinda cards but you'll 
just have to see.  There's alot of wireless support in RH8, but it's still a 
bit behind the curve from what I can tell. I'm not sure if NetGear is in 
there or not but there's a long list.
