Linksys EtherFast 10/100 Cardbus (PCMPC200) problems...

Thanks for the info David.

My recurring problem, however, is determining what varieties of PC Cards are
out there and whether the experience of those card owners relates to my own.
For example, I know there are CardBus and non-CardBus versions, and that some
people have reported success with one and not the other.

You are talking about the LinkSys EtherFast 10/100+modem combo.  I assume that
since you are on this list, it uses the tulip driver, although I know that
many of the LinkSys cards do not.  Is it a cardbus device or a 'normal' pcmcia
device?  Similarly, did you ever have the problem that I roughly described (I
know some others have) and if so, do you know what you did to fix it?

Bye for now,
Paul
