Looking at the "Tech Report" comments, I've also noticed that the Netgear FA3xx series of network cards aren't totally happy in a VIA chipset environment, even those that lack a Santa Cruz card. IOW the "Tech Report" bug just happens to mention a Santa Cruz card. I've seen VIA chipset motherboards totally fail to boot as in not even light up the screen at boot time due to Netgear cards. Nothing else in the machine but a video card. My circumvention for this problem has been to install a competitive chipset (Realtek 8139) network card instead. I had this problem as recently as this morning. If someone called this a "Netgear" bug there might not be much of an argument from me!
