i am going to buy one of the following cards, i wonder if someone have gotten it running on gentoo, they say it runs in redhat, but i will run gentoo

and i can imagine how redhat patches the kernel, i wanna run 2.4.22, if someone can help, i will appreciate!

I have the MA401 running perfectly in gentoo Linux, but the card you mention seem to be a standard LAN. I quote from the page:
"The FA411 supports legacy and all other major operating systems, and comes with a 5-year warranty." Since it comes with RH drivers, you should be able to get it running in gentoo. I'd suggest to google for the chipset.

Just enable the National Semiconductor under the 100mbit cards, should work fine.
