The Spec lists as system requirements a "PCI 2.2 compliant" slot. Unfortunately the M/B I plan to use (ASUS P2L97-S) list only 2.1 compliancy. Does someone have experience with the Netgear in a PCI 2.1 slot ... does it work, too. If yes, are there drawbacks. If no, which 802.11g card will work in a PCI 2.1 slot (e.g. D-Links DWL-G520 doesn't list the need of PCI 2.2).
