Same problem with 2.0.36, 2.0.37 and 2.2.5
Have you tried it in a different motherboard? It's possible that the motherboard is what's causing you grief, not the card (I've not worked with the FA310TX on many motherboards, since I'm trying to standardise on the FIC PA2013, but the netgears work fine for me on those, the FIC VA503+, the FIC VB601V -- all three with VIA Apollo chipsets -- as well as an elderly single-level ATX motherboard I dug out of the discard bin at a web vendor and one of the first SuperMicro Pentium II motherboards.)
In all of these cases, I've used the driver that was supplied with the card, because it's very happy with those cards and it gets along well with other tulips too.
