Netgear FA311 Ethernet Card Problem
I bought a Netgear FA311 Ethernet Card. On the box it claimed to
support linux.
Starting with a blank computer I installed Debian 3.0 from an official
CD set. I ran pppoeconf and got a message that there was a serious
problem - an address was 1498 that should have been 1500.
Next I loaded kernel-source-2.4.18, built a new kernel with network
support and rebooted. Now pppoeconf cannot find the ethernet card.
Finally, I looked at the software that came with the card and found it
came with files to set up the card on any of three versions of Red Hat
linux. The instructions called for compiling the modules with c using
the included makefile. I presume that in time I can puzzle out and edit
the instructions in the makefile to work with Woody. In the meantime,
if anyone has already done this, I would appreciate help in getting this
going so I can connect the computer to internet and get some urgently
needed updates.
