Are you using the latest version of the driver? If you have the Netgear
FA310TX REV-D1 you need the driver included with 2.0.36. The version
that came with 2.0.35 seams to have problem with the clone chip that the
newer Netgear and Linksys cards use. The newer version is also included
with the 4.01 driver disk from Netgear, along with the instructions for
using it with an older kernel.
