I purchased a few Netgear 511 pcmcia cards a while back. The only way to 
tell the difference between the different chipsets between rev.1 & 2 was 
to see if the card had a Made in Taiwan or Made in China line 
respectively. Apart from that, the cards were identical on the outside 
but use different chipsets on the inside. Add Netgear to your list of 
manufacturers requiring careful research.
