    I have just about had it with PCMCIA cards that flake out in Windows,
    then also give up the ghost in Linux. It's a Thinkpad 600, mind, but
    once Win95 (yes I avoid the registry) decides to call it quits with a
    Trendnet card and a COMPUSA ethernet card, Linux in dual-boot breaks
    off with her as well.

    So now I would like to abandon all hope for PCMCIA and strive to
    negotiate the uncharted waters of USB-to-ethernet plugs. Are they easy
    to use in Linux? My laptop sports a RH7 mutant version that's got a
    couple of Mandrake RPMS mixed in. What are your experiences? Do all
    brands work alike? Could somebody point me in the right direction?
    THanksabunch, lads...
