[PLUG] [Slightly OT] PCMCIA Network card


I'm looking for a decent PCMCIA network card for my laptop.

Does anyone have any suggestions?  What works well, what doesn't, etc.
For example, I've seen comments that have come up in Google searches
that suggest that the drivers for Xircom cards aren't that great.  Does
anyone have a favorite 10/100 card that they'd recommend?

I'm also unclear as to whether or not my laptop has PCMCIA or CardBus.
I've heard that 16-bit non-CardBus sockets have a hard time keeping up
on a 100Mbit network.  I've looked at the manufacturer's website, but
it's hard to find information on this model since it's rather old.  Does
anyone know around what generation of processors CardBus was introduced?

On a related note, does anyone have an extra card to sell or give away?
