My Linksys card installed easily and worked immediately on Caldera 2.4.
However, after days of struggling, I was unable to get it working on
Suse 7. However, when I popped the Netgear into the SuSE box it worked
immediately. So I guess it's helpful to have more than one kind on
hand. These brands are pretty cheap, so you can probably do this. 3Com
would be my choice if money were not a concern.
