[ltp] Re: cardbus network adapter recommendation

[linux-thinkpad@www.bm-soft.com]

It's a cliche already, but if you buy a NIC, go for 3Com - I have both the 
"normal" and the XJack 3C575, and they both work flawlessly (though I have 
only used them until Kernel 2.2.18). The 3Coms are usually a tad more 
expensive, but my experience suggests that spending a couple more bucks 
saves you time and trouble on the long run. IMHO.
