I have a Lombard recently upgraded to OS X that the ethernet port stopped working on. A trip to my Apple authorized repair shop confirmed a bad ethernet port. The replacement of the motherboard is apparently the only way to repair this problem($570+ for an estimate). All OS 9 and OS X software has been re-installed during the troubleshooting with no effect. I've tried all the battery pulling and resetting that seemed to work in a previous posting.
I am curious if a PCMCIA 10/100 card like FriendlyNET will work in OS X on the Lombard. I see the availability of Beta drivers on the website, but I read a few digest reports of problems with this setup. Not an elegant solution, but better than the phone line at 56k.
