Netgear FA311 Network card

[f.ho...@scientec.demon.co.uk]

Hello everybody,

I am trying to have my NIC Netgear FA311 installed. I went to the Netgear site and they say I should insert RTL8139.o, which I tried with modconf, but it doesn't work. I have tried pretty much every driver supply in the NEt section of modconf, without result.

Any idea?
Thanks a lot,
Fabien

hey fabien

i use the fa311 too. the module you'll need to load/compile into your kernel
is the 'national semiconductor' module called 'natsemi'.

works like a charm.

good luck!

I believe Netgear has shipped a couple of different cards
labeled "FA311".

I have an "FA310-TX Rev D2" that identifies on the PCI bus
as a "LiteOn LNE100TX (rev 32)". It works with the "mii" and "tulip"
driver modules. The MAC (big chip on the PCI bus) is labeled
"NETGEAR LC82C169C" and the PHY (smaller chip between the MAC and
the magnetics module) is a Broadcom BCM8202.

"tulip" will not load until after "mii" has been loaded.
Perhaps "natsemi" also requires "mii".
