what do you mean by a lot of skill? what did the site say?
anyway, about you setup are you using the spanking new 2.4 kernels or the
2.2 kernels? what distro are you using?
i read that the netgear fa510 is a very very problematic card.
however, since this is a pcmcia card it could have been fixed by the 2.4
kernels already.

doing a google search i found that newer versions of the pcmcia tools
programs and configs have the setting for the netgear card. i also read
that RH6.1 will work.
