Charles on Australian Geography”:
“Below the line is New South Wales. Its capital, Sydney, has the big bridge and the opera house that you see on postcards. I live in Sydney now. It has a lot of pubs. Baywatch almost moved to New South Wales, but the locals told them to bugger off.”
From one of those internal company knick-knacks beloved of ISO9000 accreditation teams:
Quality only happens when you care enough to do your best.
This slogan stands out against other quality mottos I have seen over the years: it contains both truth and half-truth, on several levels.
The correct Linux driver for the NetGear FA311 card is the National Semiconductor one. It is an option in the kernel “make menuconfig” utility.
I initially had some trouble with this driver; the card would only come half-way up, pause, then go down again. Tried the tulip driver, with no luck, and also rebooted a few times too. Eventually went to bed.
After a good sleep, I was able to notice that I had unplugged the ethernet cable from the card. As soon as I attached the cable, the card started to work.
Doh!
