I am using a Linksys "EtherFast 10/100 Integrated PC Card". Model no. PCM100 version 2. It is dongle-less, but unlike the Xircom cards, this one sticks out of the cardslot at least 1.25 inches. So it must be removed when you put the laptop into a case. It did just work without modifying any addresses or irq's - although I haven't yet gotten it to come up automatically yet. I am still playing around with the init scripts to get it to ifconfig itself using DHCP. Doug Egan "Peter N. M.
