I've had good luck with the LinkSys 100Base/T card -- about $75. Cheap and functional (so I don't need dual-speed hubs here). Speed? Who knows, but I'm not planning to use my notebook as a server ;-) You will need the patches by Asami to get if_ed.c to recognize the card. > Think I should install PAO on my laptop when I get it? Now we're getting into "religion" -- I'll just say that 3.1-STABLE works just fine for my needs...
