Apparently Solaris does support the card, but it can't plumb the card,
making it unusable for me.
Linux support seems to be sporadic at best.  Now I wonder if I can just go
the Fast Ethernet
route instead.

On a side note, does anyone know if there is a docking solution for the T60
that allows PCI cards?

Yeah, I'd have to second that.  Realtek didn't seem like a real company to
me at first, but I've shoveled several hundred gigs of data through them and
they seem to be solid.  So if your os has drivers for them I'd try that.

Offhand, I do not know of any intel cards that would work; thats what
prompted my searches.
