I took a lighting strike here at work last week. it seems to have come in on our dsl line an thrue the dsl modem an out the cat 5 cable into the network, modem an router are both still working, but it took out my novell server an a printerserver an also I think my test bench linux server network cards are not working up to par now, think one is completly gone. Just wondering if anyone has use the netgear FA312 network cards with suse 7.3/8.0. I have 3 of them in stock here an need to switch out the cards in the linux machine to see if that is the problem but did not want to bother with the netgear if they are not going to work, Thanks for any info you can give me on this. jack malone jmalone@horizonind.com Horizon Industries
I've used Netgear cards before under Linux, to be honest I can't remember
what model they were except that they were 10/100 Fast Ethernet.
They worked absolutely fine. From memory, I believe they use the Tulip
netword card drivers.
Good luck,
Paul Miles

Not Tulip -- those are the FA310s. The FA312s use the National Semiconductor driver. From the kernel configuration help: National Semiconductor DP8381x series PCI Ethernet support CONFIG_NATSEMI This driver is for the National Semiconductor DP83810 series, which is used in cards from PureData, NetGear, Linksys and others, including the 83815 chip.
