Hi Claude,

Looks like the WG311T uses the Atheros chipset, see
http://www.packetpro.com/~peterson/linux-netgear_wg311t_pci.html

So, that means you will need Madwifi. The easiest way to install it is
to use the RPM packages for madwifi at Livna or Atrpms. I would
recommend that you NOT use the latest kernel (2.6.17-1.2139) when you
install and use the wireless card, because of the interface switching
issue. 

Very detailed instructions can be found in the link below. You should
scroll down to see the instructions for Fedora Core 5:
