What PCMCIA network card should I buy?
Can someone suggest me about what PCMCIA network card should I buy? That will be for an HP Pavilon 3402 which will be running SuSE 7.1. Actually what I really want is the cheapest one, which will not give any problem running on 7.1 What do you suggest? Rik. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

For cheap, you can't beat the LinkSys 10/100. Works perfectly but the dongle is huge. Right now I'm using a 3Com 3c575 with xjack. It's beautiful but expensive. - -- James Oakley Engineering - SolutionInc Ltd. joakley@solutioninc.com http://www.solutioninc.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE66CHT+FOexA3koIgRAtMHAJ9iC7SsBNdr8xXEj8l8MlYXvGtwxQCdFtgw QdGhwt/z/bAjbKIspV3f5Fo= =o9iF -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

What do you suggest? Install the pcmcia package, then print off a copy of /usr/share/doc/packages/pcmcia/SUPPORTED.CARDS and take it to the store with you. Note especially the last section, where it acknowledges those vendors who have contributed information, hardware, or even code to the effort. They're likely to be the best supported.
Personally, I have and use 3C562D/3C563D, 3C589D and Linksys PCMPC100 with no problems. -- Rick Green "I have the heart of a little child, and the brain of a genius. ... and I keep them in a jar under my bed"
Hi; there is a list at pcmcia.sourceforge.net as well.......you did not mention what type of card you need?????? like a memory stick reader...modem....wireless??? I know only the Wireless as of late I have used the Cisco (Aironet) Lucent clone from Orincom, the Linksys, and I just bought an SMC from PCconnection which was the least expensive of them all at $119 with 128bit WEP crypto....
