Re: Problem with netgear card
I recently spent lots of time on the LRP mailing list.
THis topic was handled frequently. Perhaps this is
not a Debian issue. Check out www.scyld.com for lots
of in-depth info on drivers. My guess is that you
need the new pci-scan.o and the new tulip.o driver.

I use a Linksys LNE100TX v4.1 in one of my machines.
It uses the tulip.o driver. But it needs the
pci-scan.o module too. (See scyld site for
explanation.)
method for installing:
// get netdrivers.tgz from scyld
// unzip/tar into a clean directory
// make sure /usr/src/linux is ready for compiling
// with the machine having the fa311 installed
make pci-scan.o
make tulip.o
cp *.o /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/net
// next lines can be in a script that is run during
// system initialization
/sbin/insmod /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/net/pci-scan.o
/sbin/insmod /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/net/tulip.o
/sbin/depmod -a
// config your driver
I have many dents in my skull from this topic. Hope
you get through with less pain.
