FIC PA-2013 & PCI interface question ( PCI 2.0 or 2.1 ?)

As to the later revisions of the FIC PA-2013 motherboards, which is
what I have, is the PCI interface 2.0 or 2.1? I have a Netgear FA311
hardwire adapter card (NIC) that has an interface of PCI 2.2. The
manual says that the FA311 is "auto-sensing PCI Plug & Play 2.1 or 2.2
compatible." Would it, therefore, be safe to install in the FIC
PA-2013?
Appreciate any and all replies or email me at MrBaltimore@yahoo.com
Thanks. Gibby

Hey, Gibby.

It is PCI 2.1. PCI 2.1 came into existence around 1995 or 1996. Your
motherboard came a couple of years after that.
