Very interested in the progress of 8335 support at some point.  My 
Netgear wg311v3 is sitting on my desk... waiting for some Linux bits to 
get it running!

I can assist in testing whenever bits become available ( officially or 
unofficially, hint, hint! :-P )

Thanks for the hard work, and keep them bits a comin'
