I used an intel pro 100 when i had the 570. I got it from eBay for 1eur
+ shipping. It was a grey card, looking very similar to xircom cards,
except that the piece of plastic that is red on xircom, was blue for the
intel.

Also i had a xircom realport ii for some time, which works very well,
too. Just trashed the lan connector pins at some point by accidently
pulling the cable.
