Anwering my own question, I think this has something todo with master and slave IBSS. I think the WG311 can operate in slave IBSS only. Anyway, ditched the Netgear and got an el-cheapo Ralink RT2661 based card (ral). 

It's an Eminent EM4467. Thought I should mention this here, since it wasn't in the man ral card summary. Runs like a charm, and no need for a separate firmware pkg_add. Great.

Also the warning in man ral about requiring strict PCI 2.2 does not seem to be a problem. Use it in a PCI 2.1 box, but of course don't know why this was mentioned. I don't use the power management, the most significant addition to the 2.2 spec.
