I ended up downloading natsemi.c:v1.11 11/7/2001 from ftp://www.scyld.com/pub/network/natsemi.c Had to compile under a 2.2.x kernel -- Suse 7.0 seemed to work --- since gcc is not on the Dachstein floppy image. If Charles & the sourceforge folks have positive results wherever they test these things, I would recommend updating the Dachstien distribs to include the newer natsemi.o Never saw a fa311.o in my travels.....
