    WPA security does NOT work with this card!!, December 21, 2007
By user (Guangzhou, China)
I own a WG511v2 and unfortunately suffer from the same problem afflicting many users on the NETGEAR support forums. The WPA security does not consistently work with this card, instead for reliable connection you must use the less secure WEP security.

Using WPA (with this card in my Sony Vaio PCG-GR370) my connection might stay active for several hours. But it suffers from random bouts of disconnecting and scanning all the channels for your router. Despite two other computers (Macbook and Dell Latitude D620) on the same network maintaining a connection with their factory installed internal wireless cards.
