I am trying to set-up an older unit Win98+ to just get on the net thru a high speed connection. I am using a Netgear card FA32BOC021483 and my system is not adding it to network list of devices. In searching which mfg's are listed in memory, netgear is not listed. Does anyone know which mfg and ethernet card would be an equal to the netgear card? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks, Jim
 
I can't find any reference to FA32BOC021483 on Netgear's site or Google. Are you sure that's a model number and not something else?

What kind of card is this? Is it a NIC? If so, it it a wireless G, Super G or N card?

This basic Google search for Netgear driver Windows 98 may give you some leads.

Of course, there's always the old fallback of e-mailing Netgear's tech support.
 
Welcome to AnandTech Forums.

If your computer has Normal PCI slots, any card that comes with Win98 drivers should work.

If a card is newer than the computer than it would not be on the list.

On many old computers the IRQ assigned was not manage well try to re-arrange the cards in the PCI slots.

Or for about $100 you can get a fully configured P- computer with Windows-XP.

Harvey,
The only label info I can find on the card is FA32B the next character is a zero or an oh don't know which then C021483. Below this label is another one: 00A0CCDBD28A. Back of the card has an image of a man carrying a large mechanical gear. On the side with the labels, the largest chip has the word Netgear stamped on it. The driver I downloaded for it seems to be working. The device does allow me to enable it and says it is working fine. But it doesn't show up in my network devices list, I don't know how to make appear and or add it to the list when Netgear isn't in the installed list.
Thanks, Jim
 
Harvey thinks it is Wireless, but I think this is old ISA Network card. I.e. it is Water under the bridge.

If you have PCI slots get a regular 10/100 PCI NIC.
