Maybe this helps:

http://kbserver.netgear.com/products/WG311v3.asp (http://kbserver.netgear.com/products/WG311v3.asp)

You might want to note that there are 3 versions: v1, v2, v3.

First thing you should try is installing: (yum install)

kernel-module-madwifi-$(uname -r) madwifi

from livna: http://rpm.livna.org/ (http://rpm.livna.org/)

it might just detect it. (note that it is both kernel module and program)

You can also try ndiswrapper:

 (http://www.linuxquestions.org/hcl/showproduct.php?product=624#review11)
for this: yum install kernel-module-ndiswrapper-$(uname -r) ndiswrapper
