I have the opposite experience. I've been using the Linksys CardBus card since February and it has worked flawlessly, including suspend/resume etc. I had to go grab the latest tulip driver from Daniel Becker's page http://www.scyld.com/network/updates.html, since the new CardBus v.2 was not supported by pcmcia-cs back then. Otherwise, I am running potato with the latest updates on Toshiba Satellite 2545 XCDT. Unfortunately, I have no experience with network installs via the card. Best, Petr
