PCMCIA NICS and Wireless

[Bill Campbell]

I've been looking for PCMCIA NICs and wireless adapters compatible with
Caldera OpenLinux 3.1.1 Workstation with the latest kernel binary RPM from
Caldera, and an update version of pcmcia-cs that I built while attempting
to get a NetGear FA511 working (somebody broke the dongle off the FA510
that had been working in it for a year or so).  The RPMS I have on this
system are now:
	linux-kernel-binary-2.4.13-15D
	pcmcia-cs-3.2.1-1

I went to our friendly neighborhood supplier last week with my laptop, and
tried a number of different cards including the Latest & Greatest from
NetGear and SMC (10/100 and wireless).  The only thing I found that it
recognized was the current Xircom 10/100 card, which I really don't want to
use because it takes two slots preventing me from using my flash reader or
SCSI adapter.

NetGear has been singularly unhelpful even though I've talked to their
reseller support folks (who're supposed to know more than the end-user
support people), and haven't received any response to detailed e-mail
questions.

The day-to-day travails of the IBM programmer are so amusing to most of
us who are fortunate enough never to have been one -- like watching
Charlie Chaplin trying to cook a shoe.
