OpenFWWF (http://www.ing.unibs.it/openfwwf/) doesn't seem to be too
active, don't expect too much in near future. You can help of course.

Your's NETGEAR seems to be RTL818x chip based USB dongle. Are you sure
it uses open source firmware? Yeah, it's firmware is probably embedded
in device's internal memory... but it is still there. I'm afraid you
won't be able to get it's sources.

P.S.
Please, use "Reply to all" button, to include ML as well in your's response.
