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.
