Somebody just gave me an OLD NEC Ready 440T laptop to use for some
light word processing. The trouble is that it doesn't have a NIC card.
Given the age of it, finding a PCMCIA Ethernet card, either wired or
wireless that has compatible drivers for Windows 98 First Edition is
difficult. Could somebody please give me some suggestions on where and
what to get for both wired and wireless Ethernet? I don't have a
wireless connection at home, but I might need it elsewhere for
internet access.

For wired, fast ethernet is sufficient, since I only have a fast
Ethernet switch. Heck, I've only got one device at home that supports
gigabit Ethernet.


Sorry be down fow awhile.

Trendnet GA511NA is 20/100/1000, but only has 98SE drivers.
