The experience described on http://www.pairlist.net/pipermail/linux-laptop/2002-July/000525.html was correct for my configuration also. I purchased the D-Link DFE-690TXD 32-Bit Cardbus 10/100 PC Card today at Fry's (If you need one, you pay Fry's $19.99 + tax by 4/30/03, mail in the rebate request by 5/30/03 to receive $10.00 back for a net of $9.99 + the taxes). Installation was more complicated on W98SE than on SuSE 8.0 On SuSE, you plug in the PC Card, power up under SuSE, use Control Center/YAST to define the Network Card and Basic Network, reboot the computer (I suspect that that there is probably a CLI method to avoid the reboot) and connect to the Internet.
