For those of you who are interested, I'm posting my response to Gene Martin about 10/100 ethernet cards for his PB 3400. I actually use a PB 5300ce but with the fast ethernet adapter, but this should be helpful to those of you using other model low end Mac laptops.
Any questions can be directed to me on list. I do receive the list in digest mode, so for quicker response please email me directly.
