Thank you! I bought this card just for Plan 9. It is a(looks for box)
Netgear FA311. The page I printed from the Plan 9 Wiki told me it's
supported. I will try editing the floppy on my laptop, since my PC's floppy
drive is broken. For some reason, the door broke off, and is now stuck in
the floppy drive. The screws inside are stripped, so I can't install a new
one :(
