I have a Netgear FA311 installed in my client. I downloaded the following file from http://www.rom-o-matic.net/5.0.4/:
eb-5.0.4-fa311.lzdsk I then copied this file to my floppy using the following command: dd if=eb-5.0.4-fa311.lzdsk of=dev/fd0 Also, last night I was able to set up Mandrake to share my modem's internet connection. I was able to use the internet through my client. This really doesn't have anything to do with my ltsp woes except for the fact that it proves that my nic isn't broken. Thanks again for all of the help!
