You should be fine removing the Netgear software. Your Toshiba uses an Atheros internal network card.
My guess is the Netgear software you removed was probably a setup utility for a router, etc.

Sounds like a specific XP driver needs to be installed.
Make a note of your model number and head to the manufacturers website for the wifi/wireless driver.
Do a search based on your model number.
You didn't mention the laptop manufacturer, but here are a few common ones.
Sony
Dell
HP
Best of luck.

No. Laptop and Mobiles are passive WiFi receivers. You will need a WiFi router which when connected to internet will create a WiFi zone around it. You can no connect your laptop and mobile to this router.

There are many reasons why wireless doesn’t work but lets look at it step by step
How it works is that there’s a card inside your laptop which detects networks “wireless only” that are in your house and near you like neighbours.
The most common mistake is “the button” there is bound to be a button either
On the side, the rear, the front of the laptop or even near the keyboard it usually has
A dot with signal lines that button switch on and off the wireless device so make sure its on and then wait 10 second for the signal to appear.
There is no button? Right then there’s a keyboard shortcut to switch it on and off
You must first press and hold the “fn” button or the function button then find the wireless key which is either “f8” or “f4” it varies from model to another but it always has the wireless logo on it and it is always one of the f keys.
Didn’t help? It could be you’re running multiple utilities to run your wireless, you either have to use windows utility which is normaly in your task bar but if that’s not working then another utility is using it, so find in your programs list “wireless utility” or “belkin utility” which usually does the same.
Didn’t help? Its getting more serious, makesure your driver is installed for the wireless, if you go to the device manager and then to the network area and there makesure your wireless drvice is enabled “no red cross on it” or else if you cant find a wireless device in there then it means your wireless card is faulty and need an expert looking at it.
It is good practice to re-install the wireless driver to fix most issues.

1. First, you have to make sure that the Wi-Fi of your laptop is turned on.
2. Make sure that there's an available wireless network in your area so that you can test if the computer can detect any available network.
3. If you're running Win XP, right-click the wireless icon on your system tray and select "View available wireless networks"
4. If you can't detect any wireless network, right-click the wireless icon on your system tray and select Open Network Connections.
5. Right-click the Wireless Network Connection icon and make sure to enable it.
6. If it's already enabled, try to disable it and then re-enable it.
7. If you can't still detect any wireless network, try this:
- Click the Start > Run > type msconfig > hit Enter
8. Locate the Wireless Zero Configuration and click on it once.
9. Once it's highlighted, locate the Start button on the upper left hand corner of that screen.
10. After starting the Wireless Zero Configuration (WZC), try to detect the wireless network again.
