The MA311 is a PCI 802.11b WiFi card by Netgear.  I am using in my m0n0 
right now, and it works great.  I guess I was not clear in my initial 
question.  I need to know if the MA311 is 3.3V or 5V.  I read that you 
can tell by the side that the slot on the PCI connector is on, but I 
don't know how accurate that really is.  I have read in the list-archive 
of people using the MA311 with Net4501's, but I have also read of people 
that it does not work with.
