My priority is the MA311 - PCI The lap top with MA401 - PCMCIA is my wife's and will be one of the last to migrate. But I'm interested to hear more about the driver you found. ! My investigations so far have taken me to The linux-wlan(tm) Project http://www.linux-wlan.org/
They have a Hardware compatibility whic looks promising. 'A comprehensive listing of all currently-available WLAN adapters with their chipset and linux-wlan-ng software ' It lists both the Netgear cards, and implies the linux-wlan-ng software caters to the Prism chip that both the cards are built around. When I looked at the README file and the FAQ about software dependencies and obtaining code or binaries, I get a little confused.
It is still confusing, but things are improving fast, and the first part is they work well, next will be configure is easy last will be the instructions. Or maybe I have had a bad day..... At any rate SUSE 8.2 has built in all the drivers you need for MA401 (and I guess MA311 but have not tried) so it is almost plug it in and it works. In my case YAST could not cope with the config but YMMV David
