Netgear Wireless USB Adapter (MA111) on Debian Linux

[S Yuval]

Hi Everybody,
I've just purchased a wireless USB Ethernet adapter (Netgear Wireless USB Adapter, MA11) and would like to use it on Debian Linux. There is no mention of Linux support on the box and I know that historically Linux has been very USB-unfriendly. However, I know that modern kernels theoretically, at least, support USB. Has anyone been able to use this adapter? If so, how?
If the card is not compatible, I can still return it and buy a different one. If so, which wireless cards do support Linux?
I'd appreciate your assistance.

Sincerely,

Shahar Yuval
