I got a NetGear FA511 CardBus NIC today to replace a FA510 that was destroyed by a ham-handed, careless klutz (but then I repeat myself).
In any case, running Caldera 3.1.1 Workstation, the FA511 isn't recognized. The syslog entries show that it's returning in info string of simply ``N'', with reasonable values for the other manufacturer's ID values (it's offline now so I can't cut and paste them in). In the past I've usually been able to edit the /etc/pcmcia/config file to create an entry based on a similar card, but none of my attempts here succeeded. The older FA510 card identified itself as a UMAX, but still ran the usual tulip_cb driver. Is it possible that I just got a bad card given that it's returning a single character ID string? The NIC comes with LINUX stuff on the CD including an older version of the pcmcia-ps code that what is on the 3.1.1 machine, and instructions on how to build tulip drivers from the kernel source. This appears to be fairly dated, the most recent RedHat stuff being for 7.0. Bill -- INTERNET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Bill Campbell; Celestial Software LLC UUCP: camco!bill PO Box 820; 6641 E.
