The Netgear MA101 works under Linux.

Good question - it was plug and play with a couple of different run from
CD distributions, including Knoppix and some other distribution I used
recently which quite impressed me, but I'm afraid I get EFUCTIFINO when
I try to remember what it was. But it bloody well doesn't work with SuSE
:-(

P.S. Me - bitter - hell no. Not even after I got the stupid thing
working on SuSE (in a non plug and play manner, but at least it worked)
and then hauled a large noisy server up to the attic, where I intended
to banish it, and then it proceeded to not work any longer. I've been a
SuSE fan for quite a while but enough people have now given me nickels
that I might at last be able to afford a real distribution.
