I have heard a ton of reports that the NetGear FA311 is the crappiest network card on the planet. I know of one distro that won't even support them. They refuse to put up with the problems that they have with the card. In fact they say that all the FA311 NICs that they find they bury in their back yard. I would have to recommend getting a couple of Intel EEPRO 100 NICs. Much better in my opinion, and it won't cost that much. The cost is worth it in the trouble you save. Just my opinion. Bret.
