Laptop Ethernet Card

[Jing Su]

I have a Xircom RealPort Ethernet 10/100 PCMCIA type II on my old Pentium
laptop.  Works great.  Seems to come standard with most distros, Redhat
and Slack9 included.

The upside is that the card has a full-sized jack built into it's face, so
you don't need a dongle.  The downside is that it's a type III height
(double-card height) even though it's a type II card.
