Hi, I should be getting DSL service in a few weeks so I need to get an Ethernet pcmcia card for my Dell Inspiron 7000. Are there any pcmcia ethernet cards particularly recommended? Should I get or avoid a cardbus card? Does anyone have experience with cards that are ethernet + 56k modems? Are there any problems using 2 ethernet cards in one machine, i.e., will the card + wires both fit?
I'm planning the following setup: - Dell Inspiron 7000, running Debian w/ firewall options compiled into the kernel as the "permanently" connected machine. - On occassion, a second laptop will be networked with the Dell, so it can also use the DSL connection [it runs Windows 95]. - Rarely I'll need to bring the Dell with me places and I'll want to use a modem. With this in mind I think I may need 3 cards (please correct me if I'm wrong -- I have never setup a network before). One card for the DSL-Dell connection, 2 cards for the PC-PC connection [one each]. And I guess one of the three card should be an ethernet + modem. Obviously, this means 2 cards in the Dell. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Richard __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Thousands of Stores. Millions of Products. All in one place. Yahoo!
