    yes my NIC works - It seems all the other access points around me, including my old 802.11b and a Belkin 802.11g. Neither my PC or Mac see the Netgear. I did try updating the firmware, I may try downgrading if I can. I highly doubt this thing is broken since it is the second one - I think they...
