 Posted: Sat Apr 27, 2002 9:23 pm Post subject: FA-311 ethernet card |
 |
|
I am not quite up to speed as far as some ethernet stuff goes, but I was just curious to ask whether the Gentoo 1.1a ISO has support for the FA-311 network card. And does the kernel that now is default for Gentoo 2.4.19-r1 also have support built in?
Have people had success with this card? Any problems?
I have an older Pentium 133 with 96megs of ram that I want to setup as a server of sometype, probably web / dns and just something to learn on while I play on my main system that I don't want to leave security holes open on.
Thanks,
Andrew |

I believe the Netgear 311 uses the natsemi driver, which is included in the kernel tree and i'm 99% sure it is included on the Gentoo install cd. I have the card, seems to run fine, no problems.

My netgear 311 is sitting in my p180 with 40MB of RAM, also running Gentoo. You should be fine.  My CD drive in my p180 isn't bootable, so I followed the no boot CD guide @ https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=82

Thanks a bunch man!
My cd isn't bootable either, but I will just work with the other install ways.
