I bought a NetGear FA410TXC for about $70 at Circuit City because it was on the list of supported PCMCIA cards on the internet Linux laptop page. Unfortunately, it was not yet supported when the pcmcia modules that ship with RedHat 5.1 came out. But fortunately it wasn't hard to get it working -- according to SUPPORTED.CARDS on the internet, it uses a driver I have (pcnet_cs) so I just looked at the error message in /var/log/messages cardmgr gave me when I inserted the card, and added the following to /etc/pcmcia/config: Card "NETGEAR FA410TXC Fast Ethernet" version "NETGEAR", "FA410TXC", "Fast Ethernet" bind "pcnet_cs" Then I sent the cardmgr process a HUP (for some reason the PID in /var/run/cardmgr.pid was inaccurate) and reinserted the card. Now cardmgr recognizes the card and loads the correct driver. The card has been working great, although I have it only on a 10BASE-T network so far (upgrading to 100BASE-T after the new year, I hear...) Bob
