It's a nice card. I have one, but it has a problem... it's CardBus,
not PCMCIA - 32-bit vs 16-bit. Since I have machines like a PS/2-E
(quad PCMCIA), I have use for more than one NIC in a machine (I did
put 4 3C589s in it for use as a router on a development LAN at a small
start-up company I worked at last year - saved the company a bunch - got
laid off anyway - took my toys and went home).
