[Gllug] NetGear fa311 errors & errors & errors ....

[Thomas Robinson]

IMHO the netsemi.o is a better driver - it has configurable options and
you can access the mii registers with the likes of natsemi-diag or
mii-diag. Problem is that I have to keep cycling the damn thing whereas
the fa311 keeps functioning although reporting lots of errors. BTW I
didn't see a conflict on IRQ11:

# cat /proc/interrupts
           CPU0       
  0:   15993450          XT-PIC  timer
  1:       8080          XT-PIC  keyboard
  2:          0          XT-PIC  cascade
 11:     601658          XT-PIC  eth0
 12:         90          XT-PIC  PS/2 Mouse
 13:          1          XT-PIC  fpu
 14:      97349          XT-PIC  ide0
NMI:          0
