I have two netgear cards, and I think they are the fa311 (I could be wrong though). Mine are ISA cards, one in a Debian box and one in a DOS/Win95 box. To get the Debian one working I first put it in a DOS box, booted with their driver disk and ran the setup utility. I did this to turn off PnP. Then I put it in the Debian box and added the following to /etc/modules.conf (actually to a different file under /etc/modutils and ran update-modules) : alias eth0 ne io=0x300 ( I am not at the box right now, and it might have been alias eth0 ne2000 io=0x300 ) Everything has worked fine for me. As others have suggested go to Donald Becker's site (at scyld.com) and see what he says there. He is a smart guy who wrote all (or nearly all) the ethernet drivers for linux. HTH, -D
