Thanks for all the support with getting this card working. Unfortunately I still get timeouts and no pings. I have updated to 4.3RC, applied the ed_patch below (Which only works on the most recent source else several hunks failed), tried fa_select and still no joy :( ... this is a last deparate cry for help to see if anyone has got any furhter ideas before I put my tail between my legs and move the laptop to Linux (sob). The FA-410 I have was given to me a few weeks ago, but was brand new... maybe they have changed something again?!? Hopefully someone can help me and all the other sorry losers that have this card!
