Any NIC with a Realtek chipset (RTL8139 appears on the big chip on the card), usually the $10 PCI batch at Fry's Electronics have never failed me. I prefer 3com for "industry standardness", but if you need something quick, cheap, and that works on Linux, the generics with RTL8139 won't stear you wrong.

My computer is a compaq presario 14xl244 laptop it currently has a combo minimodem nic card. I found a driver for the modem but I can't seem to find one for the nic card. So can anyone suggest a card. I dread the thought of taking this box apart, but it looks like I'm kinda stuck. By the way I'm poor so I'm looking for the cheapest card supported. > TIA > Frank Burton > > __________________________________________________________________ > The NEW Netscape 7.0 browser is now available.
