[ale] Netgear FA311?

[Robert L. Harris]

I had pre-read the readme that Chris mentions and it talks about an
ne2000 chipset and not tulip so I believe you're right.

I also tried with the -DMODULE and -D__KERNEL__ specified on the
command line and I get alot of:

{0}:wally:/usr/src/linux/drivers/net>gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -o fa311.o fa3 >
/tmp/ccRuyLum.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/ccRuyLum.s:19: Warning: Ignoring changed section attributes for .modinfo
/usr/lib/crt1.o: In function `_start':
/usr/lib/crt1.o(.text+0x18): undefined reference to `main'
/tmp/ccpxR4bk.o: In function `fa311_probe':

/tmp/ccpxR4bk.o(.text+0x5e): undefined reference to `init_etherdev'
.
.
.



I hope the kernel ne2000 driver will work.
