You can't go wrong with an Intel NIC. The only thing is that it is a Type 3 
card so it blocks both PCMCIA slots. This is good, in that it protects your 
PCMCIA card cage from getting dust in it and so on, but it's bad in that it 
prevents the use of the top slot.

Here's a good deal on it:

Knoppix 3.3 picked it up immediately and uses it as if it's second nature.

Take care,
Michelle
