Network card for new (to me) laptop?

[kandrathe]

*shows off her ignorance*

I have been told to ask about an external wired network card by those in the know. Problem is, I ain't in the know, and I just want to plug my laptop into the Hollins network. :(

You should be fine with either the Netelligent 10/100 from Compaq (which seem to be hard to find now), or an equivelent 10/100 16 bit PCMCIA card.

This card is an example of what should work for that machine;
LINKSYS 10/100Mbps LAN PCMCIA Card, Model PCMPC100 - Retail You should be able to hunt one of these down at a local purveyor, which might be worth the extra $ in case you need to return it.

IIRC, most 3Com standard network cards worked fine.
