hi,
...donno about the dlink. my only experience was going
down to the local comp usa and getting a generic 10mbps
card for ~$30, which worked "outta" the box, in 3
different laptops (from clones to the outlandish sony
picturebook), and on kernels 2.0.36 to 2.4.0!
the box just says, "pcmcia network pc card for
notebooks. ...complies to ieee 802.3 10base-t ethernet
and pcmcia release 2.1... system requirements:
ms-dos/win[dont].
oh, yeah, ...about the dongle...seems to be
sturdy enough but i pamper my tools (computers, cars,
etc.) so that part of it hasn't been put through
anything too severe.
hth.
