Hi,

I think those drivers have not yet been merged. Since I happend to have those (and had problem to get them run with the default kernel) I'd like to asked whether those can be included into the kernel. They are GNU licensed. Seemingly the SiS updates the existing sis900 driver, the FA311 is not yet supported by the kernel.

Not true, see natsemi.c (in 2.4.x at least).

Correct, and the cards really work with it.

natsemi did not work with 2.2.17 on a remote system I do work on, but did work with the 2.4.0-included driver. Wonder if it'll be making it into 2.2.x soon..

It is available for 2.2 from http://www.scyld.com/network/ ... All I did was port the Becker driver to 2.4.

If someone wants to port his driver into 2.2.latest, I'm sure people will be happy..
