Any reason I shouldn't get one of these to go with a 3.9 box? There are several versions of this. The first one is based on an Atheros chip ath(4) should support, although ath currently only supports 802.11b rates on it. http://kbserver.netgear.com/products/WG311v1.asp The second one is based on an newer unsupported Atheros chip (you can tell this one as it does not have a full height RF shield). http://kbserver.netgear.com/products/WG311v2.asp The third is based on a TI ACX chip which can be picked by its blue PCB. http://kbserver.netgear.com/products/WG311v3.asp Given Atheros is openly hostile to efforts to support hardware that incorporates their products, you would be better off selecting hardware from the list of Ralink RT2500 based devices.
