question about the netgear FA311


ive read several threads, websites and the HCL about it. nothing tells me if it needs drivers. i need a nic that will not need drivers. i'm having a lot of problems getting my 3com 905b nic to work.

The Netgear FA311 uses the natsemi module
The 3Com 905B uses 3c59x module.

These are common and I would guess that most distributions would include both modules. BTW any NIC will need a driver.

What are the problems?
