Subject: Netgear FA311 NIC dilemma


> I just setup a Redhat 7 webserver (I know that's an old version but I 
> have another reason for using it) over the weekend and am having trouble 
> getting the system to maintain a configuration for a Netgear FA311 NIC 
> between boots.
> 
> Using a Netgear supplied module driver I added the fa31x.o file to the 
> /lib/modules/2.2.xx/net/ directory, and then ran the command "insmod 
> fa31x link_speed=0", which activated the NIC. I then assigned an IP, 
> netmask, gateway, and DNS server using "netconfig".
> 
> I also added the line "options fa31x link_speed=0" to /etc/modules.conf.
> 
> Everything worked fine until a reboot, then all information had to be 
> manually added again; the insmod command had to be run again, and an IP 
> address had to be assigned to the interface, etc etc. The config 
> information won't last between system reboots.
> 
> The Netgear driver also included a "fa31x.h" and "fa31x.c" file, but 
> didn't give any instructions what to do with them; possibly I'm leaving 
> a step out that involves these files?
> 
> Or, something else?
