Just went thru something with this card today... so It's timely. :)
That card needs either those drivers or the natsemi driver (2.4 kernels)
Either: use the existing natsemi driver, it should work
OR if you are using an older kernel
apt-get the 2.4 kernel image (apt-get install kernel-image.2.4.9 something)
OR
Download the kernel sources, you need these, they are missing. Then build a
new kernel
that uses either the fa311 OR the natsemi drivers.
As someone new to Linux, I'd recommend the first or second, and offer
EUGLUG's help any thursday in getting the third done (it's not hard to do,
apt-get the 2.4 kernel-source and kernel-package, then make menuconfig and
then kpkg will build a new kernel image for you.)
BTW, I ended up not using that card for exactly that reason. I wanted
something that would work with an existing box. Bought a 3com which didn't
work, ended up using a Intel Pro/100 which worked like a charm.
