Yeah, if there's no wlan0 section, then the wireless card isn't recognized. Next step would be to type: lsusb since it's a USB device, and see if something related to NetGear or WiFi comes up. Edit: Another thing you can do is download the Ubuntu installer and run that. Just boot it up and don't install anything. See if it recognizes your wireless card. Most likely it will since it uses a more recent kernel. If wifi works, then we know it's the old kernel version in Tails.
