[Sheflug] Laptop Network Card

[Darrell Blake <xxxxx [at] xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I have a problem with my network card on my laptop and I'm hoping 
someone can give me an alternative. At the moment I have a PCMCIA D-Link 
network card. It works in that the PCMCIA card goes in the laptop (duh) 
=o) and there's an adapter which connects to the PCMCIA card (which 
contains both BNC and RJ45 connectors). I'm getting seriously miffed 
with the network card because to get the adapter to stay in the card I 
have to hold it in otherwise it falls out. Which, as you can imagine, is 
really frustrating. I am wondering if someone knows of an alternative 
type of network card (doesn't have to be PCMCIA) which I could use on my 
laptop. I've been trying to find one where the PCMCIA card actually has 
an extended bit on it with the BNC and RJ45 connectors, none of this 
adapter plug in stuff. I can understand that it's more portable if an 
adapter is used but it's really annoying =o)

Darrell
