In this thread about computer security, I didn't see this very important
note:
If you do not need to connect to your computer from outside your home,
put "ALL: ALL" in your /etc/hosts.deny file. If you know the IP
addresses of the computers outside the home that need to connect inside
the home, put "ALL EXCEPT ip-address1 ip-address2 . . . " in the
/etc/hosts.deny file. One of the reasons the Linksys DSL/Cable router
or similar routers are secure is because out-of-the-box they reject all
incoming connections. You have to configure the router to accept
incoming connections explicitly. Putting ALL: ALL in the
/etc/hosts.deny file will effectively do the same thing.
Yes I know putting ALL: ALL will not fix all security related problems,
but I think it would help a lot.
Just my two cents.

Lots of comments but I did not see an answer to the FA310Tx question.
You
did not mention which release of Linux you have. In any case, the tulip
drivers can be found on Donald Becker's home page
