RE: Laptop (PCMCIA) NIC Suggestions for Woody Stable
Well, I picked up a card for free from a friend. It is the following,
and I cannot get it to work under Woody:
Compaq Netelligent 10/100 PC Card P/N: 335507-001
I did some searching and found several posts that said these cards are
actually Thunder LAN cards, but trying to install the tlan.o modules
using modconf failed, and I don't see any Compaq-named modules anywhere
in modconf. I'm using the bf24 installation, by the way.
Thanks for all help. I'm a total newbie btw, so please be gentle :/

If you are for 10 base T, any name brand card will do.
Is your PC CARDBUS compliant? If so look for CARDBUS version and 100
base T version.
Any name brand (US/TAIWAN,...) NIC works. Just do not get
NIC/MODEM combo or any combo NIC. Too much trouble.
Unless you get fancy GIGABIT ethernet card, any normal NIC should work.
