I think you may have a good chance. I can get a decent signal out in my 
garage, which is through two brick walls, second floor to first floor about 
50-70 feet away. I'm running off an Orinoco base station. Depending upon 
whether you want to ask to borrow airtime or just take it, you could ask for 
some reorientation or slight moves of the Netgear to get best reception. The 
other alternative is to get an Orinoco Gold card or equivalent with the 
Opensource Wireless driver or the IOExperts driver and get better range.
