Xircom/intel Realports are no longer available new but work really well
on Linux and have the advantage over others that there is no dongle
thing hanging out the side the ethernet cable plugs straight in.
They can usually be found for next to no money on ebay.
However you need 2 PCMCIA sockets to accommodate the height, if you have
two release buttons (one above the other) then you have a dual socket
and therefore can accommodate one of these.
I have had success with little or no effort with various USB ethernet
thingies, but sadly cannot tell you which ones as they were unbranded
el-cheapo purchased in an emergency from a local computer shop.
