Hi,

This is related and not quite related. I have just bought LinkSys
Etherfast 10/100 + 56Kmodem PCMCIA card. It work good with Linux 
but for Redhat 5.2 you must load PCMCIA 3.0.9 since RH5.2 use PCMCIA3.0.5.
I install Redhat 6 yesterday, it work right away. The price is also good,
the one I have is about 192US$ (Plus tax already).

PS: Sorry if it not very related, I am just in the mood to post.
