Well this is the description of how to get it working, I downloaded the program fa_select, but unfortunately I have nary a clue how to get all this 'into' Linux, I would appreciate any help anyone has.

This card works well with a little prodding, namely the fa_select program available at http://www.gxsnmp.org/fa_select
This is a relatively cheap 16-bit 10/100 NE2000 compatible PCMCIA NIC. The PCMCIA packages from 3.1.8 and up support it, but there is an odd problem with the hardware: The transmitter doesn't get activated when the card is inserted. It is possible to activate the card manually, however, using the fa_select program available at http://www.gxsnmp.org/fa_select . The trick is to run 'fa_select $DEVICE X' instead of the standard 'ifport $DEVICE Y' in the /etc/pcmcia/network.opts script. Values for X are: 0--10Mbit, half duplex; 1--10, full duplex; 2--100, half duplex; 3--100, full duplex.

Hi
I used RH7.2 in my L/T with a Netgear fa410tx, it was detected by the install, and seemed fine. Sadly, it only worked properly in one of my 2 pcmcia slots, and the card seemed to die whenever the apmd switched off the screen. Added to this 7.2 with KDE/Gnome/anyWM was so slow on my LT that I decided there was something wrong with it! Am back running windoze at present (work) but shall return!

Any help out there?

Answer my question or face my wrath. Which may involve me blubbering like a baby.

This is only a suggestion guys:

Netgear cards seem to have alot of problems and so I
opted for a more expensive 10/100 TX card form 3-Com.
I've done alot of installations as a integrator and 3-Com
was the best ethernet card around......
