Netgear drivers should be downloaded from the netgear website. I chose that adaptor as it had a Pegasus chipset that appears to be supported by Windows, Linux and Mac although it has only been tried on Windows.

Yes the Empeg thinks it has a network connection, ping works fine, everything else PANICs the kernel.

Also another note, as the Empeg only appears to bring up the first ethernet interface, the version that is in the current Hijack will disable the built in ethernet when you do a build that enables the Pegasus emulation, this will be fixed, but it is in the queue after the kernel panics.
