[Leaf-user] Re: [LRP] fa311 drivers

[Robert Chambers]

The tulip driver will not work with the FA311 card.  The FA311 is using the National Semiconductor chip set which is different from the FA310 which uses the tulip driver.
You should be able to find the fa311.o driver on Charles site.  Also you can find the natsemi driver on Donald Becker's site http://scyld.com, but you will need to compile it for your version of Linux

try the tulip.o module.

It should work as it's worked w/ all the other netgear 310 cards that I've
had.

good luck.

Subject: [LRP] fa311 drivers

I've been using linux for about a little over a year which isn't really
enough time to say "I know what I'm really doing with it".  I recently
decided to try out LRP as a router solution.  I've got it all pretty much
ready to go it boots up fine but I'm having some problems with getting my
NIC's installed.  I'm using 2 Netgear FA311's and I'm wondering how to get
the drivers installed.  Netgear provides the source code for their driver
(fa311.c and fa311.h version 2.0) and I was wondering if there's a way to
compile them on the system in order to get the module.  Netgear does

provide

some module's but they've been compiled to work with different kernals and
not the 2.2.1.6 that 2.9.8 uses.  How would I be able to compile them so
that they'll work with LRP or can someone suggest to me some other drivers
that I can utilize with my NIC's?
