PCMCIA Ethernet Recommendation

Hey all, As you've probably had on here many times already by other users, I am asking for some recommendations for an inexpensive reliable pcmcia ethernet card for debian. Any information would be great. Thanks in advance. Donnie __ Do You Yahoo

Re: PCMCIA Ethernet Recommendation

I like the Netgear FA-410. I costs about $50 and is available at any and every Best Buy in the world . The driver it uses is the ne2k but it works well and does not cost a fortune. BTW I have used this card for over 18 months without problems... jc On Fri, Mar 23, 2001
