Recommendation for Gigabit PCMCIA card
Hello, I am going to buy a Gigabit PCMCIA card for my laptop. Can somebody recommend me a card with available Linux drivers? I have read, that the Netgear GAA511 and D-Link DGE-660TD uses Realtik chip 1869 and the driver is available for these cards. Can anybody confirm that? I am using Suse 9.3 and 10 on my laptop. Thanks in advance Andrej

I recall a problem of connecting the PCMCIA adapter to the system of an older Toshiba laptop. I don't think that is an uncommon problem with laptops. Once the adapter was connected, it seemed I could use most any card for any application. What brand and mod is your laptop? Lonn

Sorry about the bad quoting, here´s my reply again: I have the Netgear GA511 on my Toshiba laptop, work perfectly! Both SUSE 9.3 and 10.0 recognize the card automatically. /Jan K.

If the Netgear is supported and you can get it, go for it. I haven't work with this specific card, but the PCMCIA network cards that I have worked with are all excellent.
