Hi Bob,
Thanks for taking the time to address my question ;) I'm not familiar with
SMC... Can you point me to a website or something?
Are you aware of any other NICs that have the reputation of working well in
Mandrake 7.2?
Again, thanks for your time!
Bryan

Subject: Re: [newbie] Can't compile or use drivers for Netgear fa312 NIC!
By the way, I noticed Netgear put a new Linux driver
package for the FA311 on their site on 1/5/01, but all
the files in it are dated from August. I didn't try
it, since neither card of mine is in either of my
Linux machines, but the FA312 uses the same software
as the FA311, I believe. They also refer to the
www.skyld.com (I think) site on the page with the
FA311 driver, so you might want to check out the FA311
driver updates page.
I ended up buying SMC cards to solve my problem, so
good luck,
BobC

Hi folks,
I've got 2 NICs in my box, a 3COM507 (3c507.o) and a
new Netgear fa312.
When I attempt to compile the drivers that came with
the card (as well as
the latest versions downloaded from the netgear
website), I get a HOST (like
200 lines+) of compile errors and, obviously, no .o
file.
When I just copy the .o file on the disk into
/lib/modules/2.2.17-21mdk/net/
and reboot depmod reports "unresolved symbols in
fa312.o" and no 2nd
NIC
Does anyone have any idea what's going on?
Believe it or not, I don't have reliable access to
NNTP, so if anyone is
kind enough to respond, can you be sure to CC me at
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (or
this address).
Thanks very much!
Bryan
