EXHIBIT 23.2

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
NETGEAR, Inc.

     We have audited the consolidated statements of operations, stockholders'
equity (deficit), and cash flows of NETGEAR, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("the
Company") for the year ended December 31, 2000 and have issued our report
thereon dated March 9, 2001. Our audit also included the consolidated financial
statement schedule for the year ended December 31, 2000 listed in Item 16(a) of
this registration statement. The consolidated financial statement schedule is
the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion based on our audit. In our opinion, such consolidated financial
statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated
financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects
the information set forth therein.
