I am using a Dynex USB 2.0 two port notebook card, 480mbps cardbus,
DX-UD202. I think I paid $15 US for it at OfficeMax.
It is running on a Thinkpad T21 and was self installing when plugged
into the laptop. I am using Ubuntu Dapper Drake and my external USB 2.0
80Gb hard-drive is now very fast compared to USB 1
Hope this helps...
