I need 4 pcmcia ethernet cards, for a couple of Toshibas (T1950ct, t3400) and two thinkpad 365cd's, all with 2.2.2 systems. I understand that the 3c589's are probably the best cards to get, but have been holding off on getting them because the only ones I've seen for sale have been the D's, and there is an apparent problem with them (it even says in the release notes that the driver doesn't work with the D's). Are you saying that they do work? -Greg
