OK, fine.

I have a Netgear WG511, it is version 2 and Made in Taiwan, it works perfectly.  This should not be confused with version 1 or version 3 and not with version 2 made in China, these do not work perfectly.  How's that?

I find it hard to imagine why any piece of hardware could work in one distro and not another.
