Brian, I appreciate your response. I was wondering about the ominous
silence. After completely failing every attempt to get the card to work
with the natsemi module, I recompiled the kernel to include natsemi, and
the FA311 was successfully activated during start-up. I don't know what
the problem was with the modules, but strongly suspect it was a PCI bus
initialization issue. For anyone else who may have trouble, I also note
that while my recent FA311 used the National Semiconductor 83815
supported by natsemi, older versions of the FA311 used other chips,
including the RTL8139, for which a number of drivers are apparently
available.
Thanks again, Brian,
Rick
