[ale] PCMCIA Network Cards

[sangell at nan.net]

It was I that asked. I appreciate the info. I recieved several responses
from the group and the one I like best was for a Linksys from Office Max. I
went to every Office Max between Norcross and Gainesville and not a sngle
store had them in stock. As luck would have it I went home and started
digging through box after box of computer crap that I have in every nook
and cranny of my basement and I found a 3com PCMCIA card that I had
forgotten about. popped it in and away we go.

Thanks Office Max!!!!!!

Saved me about $40.00!!!!!!!!!!!!

Someone asked about PCMCIA network cards a while back.  I had purchased one
that same day and hadn't time to test it yet (I had loaned my laptop to my
girlfriend with Win98 on it).  It's a Hawking cardbus 10/100, the cheapest
thing at Micro Center that had a real port on it instead of a dongle.
Anyway, Mandrake 8.1 treats it as a Linksys Etherfast 10/100 (tulip), and
it
works perfectly.

Curiously, the box mentions that it supports Linux, and the driver disk
includes a module for it, but there is no Linux section in the installation
instructions.  I guess they just assume we don't need any help. :-)
