Question Debian drivers for Netgear FA311


I've recently installed Libranet which s based on Debian and I've run into some problems with my network cad. The problem being I can't seem to get it to work. The drivers for it are for redhat and I have no clue how to (if I even can) get them to work with my distro. I should probably mention I'm new to Linux and I have no experience in programming or compiling. So if anyone could help me I would greatly appreciate it.

I should also note that I :

A) have a DSL connection so an ethernet card is my only way of getting online

B) am dual booting with Windows 98.

In Debian Woody and Sarge you need only the driver "natsemi.o" of the kernel. Usually you must only write:

echo "natsemi" >>/etc/modules

and/or:

modprobe natsemi
