Sorry, but the method described in the PR assumes that fa_select _is_ the tool that makes the cards work. What the PR achieves is that the card is useful right after getting plugged in -- without manual intervention. If only I had known earlier about the fa_select tool (didn't find it in the archives when I searched for my card back in November/December, it seems there are too many ways of spelling model names plus there are sooo many models basically being the same -- I never considered "Netgear" to be of concern for me ...)! But I still see the PR method as a hack just to get network access to a machine with failed media negotiation. Especially forcing speed as well as duplex mode is what I don't like about the current situation (you all know the regular threads about "it doesn't work" with the usual answers "then don't hardware it"). Your "fa_select doesn't help" and Warner's message suggest that your situation is different from mine and that you have some kind of resource allocation problem or a conflicting assignment.
