I would stay with a single manufacturer (i.e. all linksys or all netgear) and not try and mix and match.
FWIW, I have a linksys wireless router and all linksys devices for the other computers/laptops at home (including a linksys wireless print server). They all work nicely with one another.
I tried to get a netgear wireless card to work with the network - no joy. No amount of setting changes would get it to connect.
Also, make sure that the router has the correct MAC addresses for the other devices. If it doesn't, then it won't recognize them. Once you have the network up and running, DO set up all possible security.
Enable WEP
Don't broadcast your SSID
Have network only allow access by devices with MAC addresses that are known (on my network, I had to manually put in the 'safe' MAC addresses) -- keeps others from prying into your network or piggy-backing onto your wireless signal.
