The wireless card options would have been my next question, so thanks for that as well. I think I will probably need to carry around a 10/100 card when travelling in order to make use of broadband equipped hotel rooms and office environments that don't have wireless infrastructure, but wireless at home would be great. I should have mentioned - I have two 100's (bought a second hand spare just recently) and a 110 waiting for me when I next visit the US (one of those ebay auctions that woudnt ship International, so a friend is holding it for me) so my old card won't go unused either. I havn't really looked at the wireless technology much yet. Are there competing technologies out there, or are they all inter-operable? Regards, DigbyT I am looking to upgrage my 10Mb PCMCIA lan card (3COM Etherlink III) with a 10/100 card, and would appreciate any suggestions/experiences from Libretto users who are running Linux. Linux drivers are a must, and one of those neat units that don't require a dongle (XJACK) would be good. Digby, I've had no problems with a Linksys PCMLM56 10/100 Network/56k Modem combo, which works fine on both my 50, 70, and Portege 7020 - so it works on both type 1 and 2 PCMCIA slots. Got it from Morgan IIRC. (If you have a type 2 slot (100 and later I think) I'm presently recommending the linksys 802.11B 11Mb radio network card and base station - cost me around $170 last week in the states. Works fine in both windows and linux (M9). Neil -- Digby R. S.

Duh, forgot to say - no drivers required for linux, it's all in the PCMCIA package which you already have; and it has the connectors in a bulge on the end - no dongles.
