[TriLUG] hardware: looking for pcmcia ethernet type I

[Joseph Mack]

for a demonstration firewall, I need to have 2 ethernet ports in a 
older laptop with pcmcia type I slots. The speed is not real important,
so 10Mpbs is OK, but it would be nice if they were 100Mbps so I could
use them for other things later. 

Since dual pcmcia ethernet cards will be expensive (if they exist)
I assume I'm looking for pcmcia NICs with a dongle, so I can fit in
two of them.

Looking at the pcmcia Linux hardware compatibility pages, there is
no info on whether the cards are type I or II. Pricewatch is similarly
unhelpful. Taking a guess, I looked on the 3COM website for info about 
the 3c574TX 3COM/Megahertz card, which since it is quite old (I think) 
I expect is type I, but there is no info about the type-ness of the card.

So then I expect I'm looking for someone who has a pcmcia single slot
type I ethernet card with dongle that works under Linux to tell
me what it is, so I can go buy one

or

I need info on how to tell the type-ness of a pcmcia card.

Thanks Joe
