	(Can you describe what your "unresolved issues" are?)... .

	Good points.  It seems to me that  any NIC card that works on
	a laptop should work on a Thinkppad.  I'm looking at the
	3Com type cards and anything that uses the DEC/Intel 21143
	chipset/logic.  The Linksys cards have workrd flawlessly 
	on four of my tower systems.   

	According to the 4.8R HARDWARE.txt list there is:

     * Linksys EC2T/PCMPC100/PCM100, PCMLM56, EtherFast 10/100 PC Card,
       Combo PCMCIA Ethernet Card (PCMPC100 V2)

	If anyone on -mobile has one of these on 4.8 or later
	I'll try one of these.  

	Anybody??

	thanks much,

	gary
