Sorry, what I was trying to say was that since there is a driver available
for the D-Link ethernet card, I was hoping that it would also work with
another D-Link card, an ethernet/modem combo card. This got me wondering if
there was anything in the specs of a combo card (or ethernet only card for
that matter) that flagged it as likely to work with an existing driver.
What caught my eye initally about the D-Link was that several vendors
listed on shopper.com have the DE660CT (which I assume would have a very
good chance of working with the DE660 driver) for under $50. I was just
thinking that I might save some wear and tear on the PCMCIA port by getting
a combo card instead of swapping cards all the time. I'm not _that_ lazy.
:) Then again, given the price differential between combo cards and
ethernet only and modem only cards, I might just go with separate cards
after all. Thanks for your suggestions!
