>The 3com 589D 10bt $8 from www.computer-show.com. Hope,
I just bought this and can report service and shipping was fine. The link is: <http://www.computer-show.com/Modern/ itemdesc.asp?CartId=1239067WTFWE25&ic=NET008&tpc=> However, as I posted last week, it ships with a dongle that doesn't work with the card. What happens is the link light never comes on, and the 3400 never sees the network. I ordered what I believe to be the correct dongle (thanks again for your help, Cameron) which is enroute from Peak. Don't have the link at present. Total outlay of card and new dongle with shipping will have been around $25 or so. And you still need that hacked Farallon driver (but not the original Farallon driver, just as Cameron notes). Said hacked driver seems to be a nice piece and the card mounts right on the desktop and opens up the TCP/IP control panel when double clicked. Undocumented, but definately needed (at least w/ 9.1): Disable the Apple built-in combo modem/Ethernet extension first or you'll get a freeze. If this means you'll lose use of your built-in modem, none of this is a solution for you. Scratch that: you wouldn't be looking for an Ethernet card if you had the built-in combo card already, right? If you can find a genuine supported Ethernet card for $30, do that instead. The $8 card mentioned really doesn't work by itself, as I'm finding out right now. If it works it'll be still be cheaper, but not by much. Wait a few days until I can report if this method works. -David -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
