I have two netgear cards, and I think they are the fa311 (I could be
wrong though). Mine are ISA cards, one in a Debian box and one in a
DOS/Win95 box. To get the Debian one working I first put it in a DOS
box, booted with their driver disk and ran the setup utility. I did
this to turn off PnP. Then I put it in the Debian box and added the
following to /etc/modules.conf (actually to a different file under
/etc/modutils and ran update-modules) :
alias eth0 ne io=0x300
( I am not at the box right now, and it might have been
alias eth0 ne2000 io=0x300 )
Everything has worked fine for me. As others have suggested go to
Donald Becker's site (at scyld.com) and see what he says there. He is
a smart guy who wrote all (or nearly all) the ethernet drivers for
linux.
HTH,
