I noticed this model takes PCMCIA cards. Which manufacturers supported 68040 PowerBooks? If companies like 3com provided support, you may be able to find these cards at an elecronics surplus store downtown. You can also try Mac dealers in case they have old stock which they couldn't sell (the U of T bookstore had some older Mac hardware in stock the last time I looked).
I use a Kingston Ethernet card on my PB5300 so it might well work on a PB190. Let me know if you need the part number and I'll look it up.
One thing for certain, a CardBus card won't work. You need one that meets the 16 bit PC Card spec. Don't hold out much hope of finding a 10/100 PC Card that'll work in a 68k Powerbook. 10 megabit is what you'll likely find. (Even though there are 16 bit 10/100 PC Card NICs for PC laptops.)
That's what I thought but someone on one of these lists pointed me to the MacAlly 10/100 card. It is 16 bits. I don't know about 68K compatibility.
