I've got a "thing" about the Intel Etherexpress cards after all
the trouble we had with them at work. I've rabbited on before
about them, we now only use 3COM 905B 10/100 cards now and
have never had a problem (connecting to Cisco gear). The reason
I bought the Dlink instead is it's way cheaper, I am happy
with the Dlink 650-TXD pcmcia card I bought for my laptop and I
don't need top performance for my home network.
Second point, returning things to Hardly Normal is no problem.
I returned a modem that didn't work properly, but I wanted to
swap it for a more expensive model (and pay the difference) so
that probably helped. A previous occasion was years ago I
returned a crap sound card and CDROM combo. They took some
convincing then, I had to speak to the manager, mention phrases
like "it doesn't work as advertised", "trade practices act" and
generally hang around making a nuisance of myself but I got a
full refund.
Dave.
