Steve, et al,
I believe Intel makes one, but it's probably manufactured by Xircom.
(They look very similar in design.) The main thing that comes to mind is
that if your TP supports 32-bit CardBus cards, get one of them over a
standard 16-bit PC Card. They run cooler, are capable of actual 100 Mbps
speeds, and consumer less power.
Yep, just looked on Intel's site... here's the URL to their mobile NICs:
http://www.intel.com/network/products/mobile_adapters.htm?iid=netsite+inc
&
That should be all one line with no spaces, beginning with "http" and
ending with "+inc&"
Hope that helps.
Dave
