Summary: Excellent
Review: Does The job! I haven't had any problems, nor do I expect to. It's an ethernet card; not much can go wrong. I'd recommend this ethernet card to anyone on the market. It's name brand, reasonably priced at 16$, (Just be sure and get the free shipping or else it's another 7$) and has 3 little lights to tell you what connection you're using.

Summary: Netgear Warranty Sux
Review: After 6 month operating the FA312 card, the card suddenly burned and the system won't power-up until i removed it. After calling the technical support, the response that i get is that Netgear's warranty doesn't cover a card that gets burned. Even though I and an UPS and tried to install it on different system and different motherboard, the tech support kept asking for more, like "go to your neighbor and install it in his system". Like who would let you install a card that can mess-up their system.My best advice is to STAY AWAY FROM NETGEAR THEIR PRODUCTS AND THEIR "WARRANTY" that doesn't cover anything.

Summary: Chipset Incompatibilities
Review: The card seems to be well-made, and the included documentation was sufficient for installing the card and doing minimal troubleshooting. As advertised, the card did fit in a PCI slot. However, when installed, my computer wouldn't boot. In fact, it wouldn't successfully complete the POST. I dutifully downloaded chipset updates for my motherboard and installed it in the slot formerly occupied by my sound card but still it wouldn't boot. There seems to be an issue with either the AMD 761 or VIA 686 chipsets on my motherboard. Others seem to have good luck with it, but I recommend avoiding it if you have an Athlon system with the AMD/VIA chipsets. I ended up returning this card and getting the D-Link DFE-530TX+, which works flawlessly.

Summary: Compatibilty problem with Windows ME
Review: Card was easy to install and was working fine except for a compatibility issue with Window ME. It was next to impossible to get a clean shutdown after I put this card in. I eventually found Microsoft documentation that this was a known problem with Netgear FA310 cards, and it seemed to be the same with the FA311. I ended up replacing it with another brand, which solved the shutdown issue.

Summary: Compatibility issues
Review: Good price, otherwise, the card was bad...
I bought it and used it with Iwill Xp-333 Mobo, and it wouldnt allow the computer to boot up when it was installed. Then I tried it in Dell 8200 and it worked, but didn't show the computer on the other workstations.
I would go with something like Linksys, and integrated is even better

Summary: Easy to install, simple to configure.
Review: I've always liked any internal card that configures easy. Yes, they plug into the motherboard fine but the tougher task is always getting your computer configured for using the new card. I found Netgear's software very easy to use, the instructions were easy to follow for beginners and the card runs very well. Rarely do network cards ever fail, though I prefer Netgear's card versus Linsky's as their software for installation is better in my opinion and easier to use.

Review: This card work wonderfully with my Redhat 7.2 system and was easy to setup. What more needs to me said. Great card, great price. FYI: I used the tulip drive that came with me Linux distro, not the one on Cards diskette. Windows 98SE loves this card as well.
