[ltp] pcmcia nic recommendation

[Adam Southerland]

One of the best I have is an IBM EtherJet card - it does have a dongle but 
most Linux Installs have the driver pre installed.

My experience: I don't suggest RealTek chipsets (especially from Encore - 
Mine has been flaky and Encore hasn't responded to any of my e-mails) - 
Others might be ok, I don't know.

I have a NetworkEverywhere NP100 card that works well (it needs fairly new 
PCMCIA Drivers if you don't use the built in kernel stuff - I don't know 
about built in Kernel PCMCIA as it isn't supported on my Laptop. btw. It's a 
Lynksys Chipset)
