Linksys PCMCIA 10/100 card

[gerry.feldman at compaq.com (Jerry Feldman)]

Thanks for the answer. I specifically got a non-cardbus (PCMP100) 
because JABR said he had problems with the card bus PCMCIA cards. I 
don't really need the higher speeds on the laptop, but I wanted to 
benchmark the desktop since I do home network backups.
