I've tried Caldera e2.4, RH7.1 and am about to try Mandrake 8.0 - none of these dists on an HP Pavillion 9694 work with the Netgear FA311 card - in fact no one seems to say anything good about this card. I've installed hundreds of 3Com 3C509 cards in the past for DOS/Win pc's and servers, and they've always been reliable and easy to troubleshoot. So, for Linux, what would be YOUR choice for (1) ease of installation (2) reliability and (3) performance? Thanks, JB
