Yes, recent FA310s use the Lite-on chip. I had three
of them, all subsequently replaced with DLink 530s
due to the onset of general flakiness. They worked
well for quite a while, though - two, three years.

What does "it doesn't work" mean? What does "ifconfig"
tell you? What does "route -n" tell you? Post the output
of those commands, and maybe we can help you out
some more.
