Re: "watchdog timeout" on a network card?

Yes, that was the exact card that I was using, the Netgear FA-310TX. I
think that when these cards were first made they used real Digital chips,
but them moved to the clones. I believe that some of the clones have had a
number of problems. So instead of playing hit or miss with the cheap cards
I just use the Intel cards and never have a problem.
