(Can you describe what your "unresolved issues" are?)... .
Good points. It seems to me that any NIC card that works on
a laptop should work on a Thinkppad. I'm looking at the
3Com type cards and anything that uses the DEC/Intel 21143
chipset/logic. The Linksys cards have workrd flawlessly
on four of my tower systems.
According to the 4.8R HARDWARE.txt list there is:
* Linksys EC2T/PCMPC100/PCM100, PCMLM56, EtherFast 10/100 PC Card,
Combo PCMCIA Ethernet Card (PCMPC100 V2)
If anyone on -mobile has one of these on 4.8 or later
I'll try one of these.
Anybody??
thanks much,
gary
