It may do, although be very careful -- I've just bought a Netgear WA511
from Ascent, and while it was reported to work well with the prism54
driver, it turns out that they've changed the MAC in the latest versions,
without bumping the product version; as a result, the latest versions
of the Netgear card only works with ndiswrapper.

Although, having said that, it works well with ndiswrapper and a real
802.11g access point (the Linksys WRT54G one).
