I have the LinkSys EtherFast Integrated CardBus PC Card (Model PCM200).

Personally, I would not buy the Integrated version again. Why?
It is difficult to add and remove a second PC card with the NIC
in place. To me, it's much more important to have the flexibility
of changing cards than to have an extra cable hanging around.

so... anyone care to make an offer on my card? It's about a month old.
