I'm using a TI TravelMate 5000 laptop (75MHz pentium, a high-end
laptop). It has an Intel 82365sl pcmcia controller chip in it. For
networking I have a LINKSYS E-CARD (ne2000 clone). Anything that
emulates the 82365 chip should work. Other supported ethernet cards
should include the D-Link DE650 and some sort of IBM card. I have tried
a Socket Communications card and got it working but that requires an
addition to the table in one of the kernel source files.
