Has anyone had any luck getting this card to work on a linux system?

My independently written driver at

works better for most people.

I agree totally. I couldn't get anythign else to work. As soon
as I installed Donald's driver my whole world started looking
a little brighter and my NICs started to work! :)

I actually got Netgear's Fa311.o to work.

But I credit Mr. Becker also for this, he pointed (at his website) out
some odd header file placement in Red Hat 7.0 that was preventing most
of his driver source files from compiling.

If anyone needs a working fa311.o file compiled under Red Hat 7.0

The FA311 is a software based NIC.. works great under windows but not so
good under linux... the 310 is a good stable hardware based NIC with little
to no CPU overhead.
