for a demonstration firewall, I need to have 2 ethernet ports in a older laptop with pcmcia type I slots. The speed is not real important, so 10Mpbs is OK, but it would be nice if they were 100Mbps so I could use them for other things later.
Since dual pcmcia ethernet cards will be expensive (if they exist) I assume I'm looking for pcmcia NICs with a dongle, so I can fit in two of them. Looking at the pcmcia Linux hardware compatibility pages, there is no info on whether the cards are type I or II. Pricewatch is similarly unhelpful. Taking a guess, I looked on the 3COM website for info about the 3c574TX 3COM/Megahertz card, which since it is quite old (I think) I expect is type I, but there is no info about the type-ness of the card. So then I expect I'm looking for someone who has a pcmcia single slot type I ethernet card with dongle that works under Linux to tell me what it is, so I can go buy one or I need info on how to tell the type-ness of a pcmcia card.
