Re: Only 8Mb/s with a 10/100 card
People,
I can not believe it. I'm not doubting about information sent by Jared, but how is possible
this kind of misinformation by DLINK????????
If I buy 1 10/100 PCMCIA card, it's clear that I intend to use it at 100 Mbps.........:-((
Am I wrong??
Please, send me suggestions!
