wired network cards

the LAN and modem ports are just working on linux
that's it
even with RH 6, MDK 8
but discontinued to use after getting another cardbus lan card (and changed to use broadband)
note: the modem is hardware-based, not winmodem

I've had this card for about 3.5 years and it has worked flawlessly the entire time. I bought it because I was tired of replacing the dongles on other models (I broke one within an hour of connecting it). The things I like are (in order of lovability):

* Integrated connectors (i.e. no dongles)
* Easily readable and meaningful indicator lights
* Takes only only one PCMCIA slot
* Hot swappable (doesn't requite a reboot if you suddenly decide you need to insert it)

I guess the only quibble I have is that it is a half duplex model rather than full duplex but in my networking situation I don't think it matters one bit. Also be aware that its connector ports extend beyond the PCs case about 3/4" rather than being flush with it like some other models. However those other models require two PCMCIA slots whereas this one only requires one.

I bought one of these 9 months to a year ago and have found it to work very well. No problem with installation (windows 98) on an older IBM Thinkpad laptop. The light indicators are quite helpful. I like the dongleless setup, but I do still have fears of it getting broken. The inclusion of the two cables, one telephone, the other network was helpful although both are short. I have successfully used both the modem and lan card simultaneously with great success. So no problems yet. I would recommend it. I have had good experiences with other Linksys network (PCI) cards previously on both Linux and Windows.
