Carlos:
You can find the natsemi driver on Donald Becker's site 
http://scyld.com, but you will need to compile it for your version of 
Linux. All instructions for compiling are with the driver. When I tried 
to use the FA311 driver that comes with the card, it would not run. It 
kept telling me that I must have kernel version 2.2-15. So that is why I 
am using the natsemi driver. Also remember to load pci-scan before natsemi.

The tulip driver will not work with the FA311 card.  The FA311 is using the
National Semiconductor chip set which is different from the FA310 which uses
the tulip driver.
You should be able to find the fa311.o driver on Charles site.  Also you
can find the natsemi driver on Donald Becker's site http://scyld.com, but
you will need to compile it for your version of Linux

I've been using linux for about a little over a year which isn't reallyenough time to say "I know what I'm really doing with it".  I recentlydecided to try out LRP as a router solution.  I've got it all pretty muchready to go it boots up fine but I'm having some problems with getting myNIC's installed.  I'm using 2 Netgear FA311's and I'm wondering how to getthe drivers installed.  Netgear provides the source code for their driver(fa311.c and fa311.h version 2.0) and I was wondering if there's a way tocompile them on the system in order to get the module.  Netgear does

provide

  some module's but they've been compiled to work with different kernals andnot the 2.2.1.6 that 2.9.8 uses.  How would I be able to compile them sothat they'll work with LRP or can someone suggest to me some other driversthat I can utilize with my NIC's?_Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com___linux-router maillist  -  [EMAIL PROTECTED]http://www.linuxrouter.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-router
