I just wanted to update this thread since things have changed at least as at 2013 onwards.
The upgt driver and proprietary firmware are required to drive the Netgear WG111V2_2.
The adaptor wasn't recognised in FreeBSD 8.1 so I patched it and my patches were accepted into 8.2.
I'm not sure if it's entirely clear from this thread but I did get the Netgear WG111V2_2 working as normal.

However, it stopped being recognised again in FreeBSD 9.0. Something about a Cohiba device being accepted instead.
I assumed this to be a fault in the driver since the patch had been working, so I gave up and bought a Netcomm NP910N.
This uses the ran0 driver which seems more familiar to FreeBSD and worked out of the box.
