I haven't seen any PC card type of solutions that are worth a damn, stand alone router,bridges (in this case) are the way to go IMHO.... We've got a couple of the Megabit modems in use and once you get the wiring correct (took me a little while to get it right :) ) it's ROCK solid. Plug the buggers in on both sides, find a port on your hub and you're golden, some of the easiest stuff I've ever used...
