Greets -

First off, thanks for everyone's effort to provide this device driver.  

I'm having trouble with a Netgear FA511 on RedHat 7.3.  I'm currently
running kernel 2.4.18-17.7.x.  I have downloaded and compiled the most
recent netdrivers.tgz, and placed the resulting modules in
/lib/modules/2.4.18-17.7.x/kernel/drivers/net.  When I insmod tulip, it
confirms that it is loading the module from that location.

The primary symptom is that when I attempt (or the system attempts to)
bring up the interface, the machine locks up hard (it's a Micron
Transport XT2, if that matters).  The card is CardBus.

Here's some stuff that seems relevant from dmesg:

I've added the following lines to my /etc/pcmcia/config to get Card
Services to recognize the card:

card "Netgear FA511"
  version "N"
  bind "tulip"

Note that that is ALL the information the card returns when it's an
unrecognized device - no manfid or additional version info appears in
dmesg (there are two PCIIds, but I couldn't get the card to be
identified by specifying them instead of the version).

lsmod shows this:

Module                  Size  Used by    Not tainted
tulip                  36064   0  (unused)

jbd                    46004   4  [ext3]

Note that there IS another (built-in) ethernet card present.  It's using
the eepro100 module, and functions perfectly.

I know this can't be all the debugging information you would want, so
please let me know what additional info you'd like.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give!

Regards,
jared
