Well I Installed a copy of Windows Longhorn Build 4029
I got every Thing tweeked out and fixed..

But got ONE problem.. The Network adapter I got wont work on Longhorn

I got an Netgear fa311 card..
The Card works on Windows 95/98, me, 2000, XP but dosent work on
windows server 2003 and windows Longhorn..

I have downloaded every driver that is to Netgear fa311, But it still dosen't work..

A get error code 0 Device could not load/start
and when i check for driver detials it says "drivers loaded because card have problems" something like that..

Does AnyOne have the Same Problem??? or does anyOne know any solutions???

Longhorn is this very unstable and there is unlike any fix to your problem as Longhorn will not be finshed for about 2 years yet and there for know drivers for it you could try Windows XP drivers but it unlikly that it would work....

M$ looks like theyv completly stopped doing drives for the fa31x network card... cheap litl buggers are no good any more.... just go buy a cheap $10 nic

Well I am a pooor student.. **** longhorn not going to buy a **** freaking new adapter for longhorn.. I will probably wait o steal my friends adapter card. eheheh thanxs anyway.....

Netgear FA310TX, FA311, and some other models are no longer supported.


I suggest people check the Hardware Compatability Lists before the install Longhorn (your best bet is to try the Windows 2003 site and base it on that HCL, as it is the closest thing to Longhorn yet).


DaveXP: Dude, there's no need to quote the entire post, when you're the first person replying to a thread. We all know what your replying to.

If you have to quote something, quote snippets, not the whole bloody post.

know i am to laxy to quote just parts

There is alot of supported hardware thats not listen in the HCL.

However, this one i know dont work in Longhorn. Best try is to steal your friends

Try the NIC drivers for WinXP. I have a Kingston NIC that was detected in builds 4008 and 4015, but not in 4029. I had to load the drivers from XP.

I had the same problem, and have created some 'fixed' drivers which work fine on Windows Longhorn.
