Re: [Sheflug] Laptop Network Card

Hi,

Theres a netgear one which I use that has a sort of block bit on the end for
an RJ45 cable to go straight into (no dongle)  It doesnt have BNC though
which might be a problem for you.  It's also pcmcia.  Heres a picture:

I got mine for £50 from maplins a little while back.  Hope that helps

Kemal
