Latest accomplishment: A Linksys "Etherfast 10/100 Compact USB
Network Adapter" fell below my speculative buying threshold on eBay.
The name on the front cover of the manual takes up about 10x as much
area as the gadget itself.
Plugged it in to the USB(1) port on my 5-year-old Thinkpad laptop and
rebooted the machine, FC3 saw it, configured it, and connected with
DHCP to my local network. Absolutely painless.
