I really need a second ethernet port in my laptop for diagnostic purposes [so I can connect to the monitor port of a switch and still be on the network]. My laptop has an ExpressPort/54. The only NIC I've been able to find is the Cables Unlimited IOC-6800. But I can find *NO* detailed information on this card [chipset, etc...] Anyone have an alternative card or have used an IOC-6800? 2.6.34-12-desktop HP DV-3085DX
