💻 NETGEAR FA311 PCI Ethernet Interface Card: High-Speed 10/100Mbps Connectivity Review

I bought it when you had to buy a separate app for faster Internet access because the mainboard didn't have one. I still remember when I first moved into the wild wilderness of technology in 2001 at the ripe old age of 19 and decided I needed to up my internet game. I called and ordered broadband and they said I need to order a network card first if I don't already have one. I DID NOT DO IT! The internet worked on my computer from day one and kept working and working. I don't even know where…

I installed this card in a FIC AD-11 motherboard and the system does not warm boot on Win98 or Linux (Kernel 2.4.3 from Mandrake 8.0). Pressing Reset will reboot the system and the software installation will resume from where it left off without any issues.

The first problem was that there was no shrink wrap on the box or a seal on the box. But then it got interesting. The anti-static bag seal is broken. Hmmm. The description of…

When it came time to build my home LAN with four computers, I decided I needed a fast card that would be easy to install and run on all my computers, regardless of operating system configure is worked. The tar card is perfect! I have it on all four machines and it works perfectly whether you're using Windows NT/98/ME or Linux. The only thing I want to say is that to work on Linux you need to know how to install kernel modules, but most NICs are like that unless Linux already has built-in…
