After installing the wireless adapter it told me to sign off and restart. Once I have done that and restart it comes up with a sign on screen that asks for a user id and password. What is that? Now I can no longer even use my computer (I as using someone else's right now). I have never had this before.

The answer to this issue is dependent on the linux distribution and version you are running.
There are several different versions of this card requiring different answers.
There are several different means in linux to address the issue. From earlier reading the NDISWrapper approach allows the used of a windows driver. For some versions of the card the madwfi project now on sourceforge, I believe may have options to support this card. -- see links below

Please confirm the Distribution and version of linux involved as well as the version of the wg311 adapter (1, 2, or 3) and I may be able to get more specific.

Hi!
I'm sorry to tell you, but Netgear does not have a Macintosh driver for WG11 adapter. It can only work with Windows OS.
Have a nice day!

This model doesen't have Windows 7 support yet. Try with this driver version http://kb.netgear.com/app/products/model/a_id/2566, it might work with Windows 7 as well. Otherwise you'll have to wait or change the operating system.
