I have not met one : that did and I assume it is a limit of the pcmcia design. Just warning : you not to waste your money on one if you get near 10bt speeds already. I've seen about 18-20Mb/s on the 100bt cards that I have. I think this is close to the theoretical max for pcmcia in a cardbus bridge (10MHz bus at 16bits/transaction). I think the max for an ISA bridge is more like 15-16Mb/s because the card is limited to the 8MHz (or 8.33MHz) speed of the ISA bus.
