After a quick search, I didn't find anything concrete about this online, but some troubleshooting and the recent experience of someone I know seems to indicate that Netgear wireless routers and the original AirPort cards are no longer compatible. This seems to have happened with a firmware update sometime in the last 14 months, because before that I did use these items together with no problem.
The NetGear router I have is an 824 and I'm pretty certain the other one that also didn't work was a different model. It works with the AirPort card in my new Mini, and with several b/g model AirPort Expresses I have, but NOT with the original AirPort card, though that card does work with my new AirPort Extreme. What happens is, it simply won't let you log into the network. It says an error occured and asks if you want to try again.
Just a heads-up.
