I have a Asus A8V delux M/B and a Netgear router it did work but for some reason has stopped, so at present I have to hard wire it and it works fine but I would like the added flexability of the wireless has anybody got any ideas as to how you get the wireless motherboard and the router to speak to each other?

Can you give some more details about your problem? Is Windows able to search for wireless networks and recognise the SSID of your network? :t shows Netgear router in connect to
How are you trying to connect, through the ASUS software or the zero config wizard?, :not sure what the zero config wizard is
What version of Windows (or other operating system) are you using?: Windows XP Prof SP2
Does the wireless adaptor appear in Device Manager? :hopefully the screen dump has got through

The main PC's are Linux (Ubuntu) - although I do have a laptop which runs Windows XP SP2.
The router is Netgear and I have 2 PC's on Ubuntu (Dapper) + one PC on Ubuntu (Feisty).
AFAIK all 4 PC's have Netgear cards and the wireless router is also netgear.
I can display several Wireless networks from the Windows machine, even when my main PC indicates that signal strength is low. (Re)-connection has always been possible - although it sometimes takes a very long time.
Current (moderate) Linux details are [**** = pathetic attempt to hide security]
I have always had broadcast SSID switched on - I think Windows couldn't connect without it (not sure about that...).
Distance from this PC to router is about 5m including a brick wall.

This happens to me from time to time when i change router settings.
I find simply resetting the router to factory defaults sorts it out.
