I saw some generic dongles down at the CompUSA a little while back. They
were $25. The blister pack said it worked with 3com and other PCMCIA
cards. I used it successfully with a XIRCOM 10bt/56k modem card (only
with the Ethernet half... modem used a different connection, but that
looked similar to the one that fit in my old ActionTec modem, I just
never got around to trying it).
The dongle also said it worked with 10/100 ethernet. There are no
markings on the dongle of value (it is here in front of me) so I can't
tell you the brand, but I do know for sure I bought it at CompUSA
