I've been using FA-310's for awhile. They work great. Use the tulip
driver. You needn't bother with compiling the Linux driver that comes
with the card. I've never tried the "wake on lan" feature, but this is
not important to me. If you just need a couple of cards, you can get a
very affordable "starter pack" (part #FB-104) which includes a 4-port
100tx hub and some cables.
The only problem I've had was when I tried using Win-98 with a FA-310 and
an ne-2000 clone in the same box. With two nic's in the box, windows
insisted on giving the FA-310 the same irq as the video card, regardless
of what settings I changed. My solution was to not run win-98 with 2 nics.
Linux had no problem with 2 nics in the box.
fyi-here's my "cat /proc/pci" for the fa310
