Netgear FA310TX -D1 RH 6 -Update

[Paul Nelson]

Hello Again,

I solved the problem for now at least by installing the older version of the
Netgear card with a genuine Digital chip (c6).

This solved the problem.  I would like to know how to get the newer cards
working as the Netgear D1 cards are readily available and are now often
found for close to $20.

If you have any clues for what I was doing wrong I would still appreciate
the help.

;-) Paul
