Hello

I have a little confusing problem with Netgear network card FA310, which 
detected by linux as tulip card. After a random time, I lost my ADSL 
connection. The only way to get it back is to reboot the system. And during all 
the time the ADSL modem did not lose its synchro. So is someone has already get 
this kind of problem? and how I can do to resolve it?

My configuration : 
 Pentium 166 with 32MB RAM
 2 Netgear card FA310 (10/100)
 ADSL ethernet modem
 Linux Red Hat 7.2 with kernel 2.4.10

Thanks,
HTC.
