I used the Netgear 4-port Wireless Router (MR814v2, supporting 802.11b) when running RH 9.0 and FC1 with never a problem of any kind (the NIC was a Realtek RTL8139 PCI card).  I later upgraded the router to a Netgear wireless WGT624 (supporting 802.11g) using this same NIC with zero problems (I just unhooked the cables on the old router and plugged in the new router -- my kind of installation!).

I recently put together a new computer using the ASUS P4C800-E Deluxe
mobo that has a built-in 82547EI Gigabit Ethernet controller and the
WGT624 Netgear router was seamlessly recognized and configured during a
scratch reinstall of FC1.

I don't see how you can go wrong with one of these Netgear routers.
