This is the closest area I could write about the Netgear FA311. You CAN’T use it. On a simple network with 3 computers and a SMC hub, it either locked my computer or made my computer reboot consistently. I thought it was conflicting with my modem – took that out and did no good. I thought maybe it was the hub.
Just added Earthlink to the house with a Netgear RP614 Router (THAT ROUTER DEFINITELY ROCKS:)), the cable modem and the other 2 pcs and the card STILL locked up my pc. I replaced the card with an old 3COM Soho card – no problems. I had all 3 computers (2 win98 and 1xp home all with 3com network cards with a motorola cable modem) running with smooth sailing. If you need a good network card, try 3COM.

Please! for the love of god! do not buy this product! it is absolutly horrible. i’ll admit that since i bought my computer and go this card back in 2002, i hadn’t had problems until the past few months. i play an online game – a MMORPG – and after every time the game is updated and i have to install the updates i am unable to log onto the game! it freezes up, and either makes my computer crash or destroys my internet connections, forcing me to restart. as you can imagine, this gets rather frustrating, and if you play MMORPGs, you can see how it is even more frustrating. i am currently running XP home edition. i beg you, DO NOT BUY THIS ETHERNET CARD JUST BECAUSE IT IS THE CHEAPEST ONE OUT THERE! you get what you pay for! now i’m off to buy a new one!

I’ve had constant problems with this card since I upgraded to XP. I’ve given up on trying to make this work and I’m going to go buy another card.

I got this card for free via Verizon Online DSL because of a switch-up and it has its ups and downs. For one thing, it was VERY easy to install, because it was my first time going in the computer. But the manual and the actual computer read out isnt the same, making it somewhat confusing. I’m running a 5-year-old Windows 98 SE that survived from a crash in 2003. I guess that my computer acted up when installing because during the crash, two files, NDIS.VXD and NTKERN.VXD got corrupted and i was relying those files to load the driver! Now I have to go to my computer-know-it-all cousin who has a Windows 98 SE disk. But, let me tell you to NEVER buy a Hewlett-Packard (HP) Computer! They told me I never even had a warranty after signing for a 5-year-plan and paying $499.99!!! They basically messed me over $500!!!

This card work wonderfully with my Redhat 7.2 system and was easy to setup. What more needs to me said. Great card, great price.
FYI: I used the tulip drive that came with me Linux distro, not the one on Cards diskette. Windows 98SE loves this card as well.
