Summary: The Perfect Home LAN Card
Review: When it came time to put together my home LAN of four machines, I decided that I needed a fast card that would be easy to install and setup on all of my machines no matter what OS they were running. Thar card fit the bill perfectly! I've got it in all four machines and it functions flawlessly weather you're running under Windows NT/98/ME or under Linux. The only thing I will say is to run under Linux you gotta know how to install kernel modules, however most netcards are like that unless Linux has the support built in already. All in all a great card for any Home LAN. Strongly reccomended.

Summary: Very easy for novice networkers!
Review: I had never done anything more complex than installing RAM and a 56K modem before this and this was a breeze. You do have to know how to remove the cover on your CPU and be reasonably familiar with the guts of your PC, but not much more than that. The software, where these things tend to fall down, installed flawlessly. On one of my PCs, the screens matched the documentation exactly and on the other, it was close enough for me to figure out. Tonight I am tackling my Netgear RT-314 DSL/Cable router and hopefully, I have the same success

Summary: Linux hacks required
Review: 5 stars, but a word of warning. The drivers supplied with these cards are known not to work with Linux. You will need to compile & install the Linux drivers manually.To do this you will need the "natsemi" drivers - NOT "tulip" as per other/older netgear cards. Apart from that, no problems running under WinMe/Win98 or Win2k.

Summary: Great Value
Review: I had no problem installing the card and it works just as it should. Highly recommended.

Summary: Major bang for little buck
Review: This is the best Ethernet card available in value and in speed. The Windows drivers are flawless and the autosensing works without a glitch.
One error is that this is not the Tulip chip that the Linux vendors say it is. Search for the "natsemi" driver on any Linux discussion group. Someone has posted this file just-about everywhere and it is exactly what is needed to bring this amazing card into Linuxland.
Don't pass this deal by.

Summary: Great Card, Even Better Price
Review: Running the card on a WIN 2K Pro/98 dual boot and have had absolutely no problems. Install was a snap, however the WIN 2K drivers are not certified. I will be back for a couple more cards as soon as they are in stock.

Summary: dont be a fool- get the 310 tx-c or the 311 buying guide
Review: the 310 311 and 310 txc are all great cards. but the tx-c is the same NIC at teh same price and includes a 10 foot cable. if you do not order it, you are missing out on the free cable. the 311 is the newer chipset and offers an upgrade path to the new 3.3 v bus. it works like the 310 and offers newer docs and a newer chipset.

Summary: *******Netgear erred with this one********
Review: First, let me say that I'm a loyal Netgear customer - I love their wired and wireless products and I usually don't even want to consider purchasing any other brand. Which is all the more reason why it pains me to say that FA311 is a really bad piece of hardware. When running many types of online software (games, P2P, etc.) FA311 will cause your PC to crash (you've been warned!) Some experts have attributed the problem to FA311 Win XP driver; however, Netgear refuses to acknowlege this and has no updates available as of this writing. And although you can install fixed 3rd party drivers for this card, I'd recommend to play it safe and avoid FA311 altogether!

Summary: Don't use this card with Windows XP
Review: I've had constant problems with this card since I upgraded to XP. I've given up on trying to make this work and I'm going to go buy another card.

Summary: Flaky
Review: Overall I like Netgear...but I think this card may have been rushed to market. It worked fine at first, but overtime developed issues to the point where, the card will not establish a connection with the Gigabit Switch. I have some 100 MB switch ports still available, and the card works ok in them, but when I connect it to the Gigabit Switch, it will not establish a connection. We have upgraded drivers, reseated the cards, tried different ports, even rebuilt the computer and it still will not maintain a connection unless we have it connected to the 100 MB switch...which kind of defeats the purpose. Hopefully Netgear's newer Gigabit cards are more stable.
