Yowza! Watch out for those model numbers, and don't assume two cards with
similar names are really related. Apparently the FA311 does not use the
tulip driver. Try a google search on FA311 and linux. It looks like some
people have complaints about it, but if you plow through the hits you'll
find some folks that say they've gotten it working.
Best of luck---jbf
