ok... just wanted to make sure that there wasn't anything weird 
with the numbers....

I'm not sure if I caught all of your posts... did you say it was 
a Netgear FA113? Never heard of that ( and google didn't either. ) 
Maybe a Netgear FA311 instead? 

Also... what Linux Kernel version do you have? 

(Assuming that you meant 311 instead of 113) Netgear has a FA311 module
for linux. It may be that the natsemi.o thing is close... but not close 
enough and you will have to run with a custom module. 

It is possible for a module to load without errors and not work.
