Chris Coleman stated: : Can people here recommend a good PCCard Ethernet card that is both cheap : and stable. We want something supported and reliable that is : inexpensive to sell on the BSD mall. The Linksys EC2T is pretty cheap (if still made?). It is 10Mbs only and has a clunky dongle, but it has almost always "just worked" for me. I think they have come out with a newer 10 only card, but I cannot comment on its behavior with FreeBSD. Any of the 3Com 3c589 series of cards are great albeit expensive. The 3Com or Megahertz 3c572 and 3c574 are 10/100 (X-jack too) cards that tend to just work .. again pretty pricey relative to the ne2000 cards on the market. Another thing to find put out there would be good pccard modems (since most newer notebooks come with the evil software modem). : We are trying to make it easy to find good BSD supported hardware. : : A good Wireless card recommendation would be welcome as well. Probably the Lucent/Orinoco cards are tops.
