Description: I used this as an alternative to my broken inbuilt ethernet card, and it worked like a charm! It is a PCMCIA ethernet card, capable of 10/100 mb/s and worked straight out-of-the-box! I'm very pleased with it as it has given me no problems, and I'm currently writing this using it!

No problems whatsoever! So far so good! Look at above description for details.

[edit]

Hmmm..the lspci output wasn't complete, so here's the Linksys line I was referring to:

I think that's the card!

Runs great out of the box, on an old Compaq Armada 1592DMT: P233mmx, 96mb ram, with a Texas Instruments PCI1131 Cardbus chip (yenta_socket driver).
