PCMCIA Ethernet advice needed

We have a requirement to put an Ethernet card in a laptop running QNX4.
Although dual speed (10/100) would be preferred, single 10Mb would be
acceptable.

Can anyone suggest a currently available card. I’d like to just pick up
my Data Comm Warehouse catalog and order from that, if I knew what to
order.

The QNX knowlege base and supported hardware lists have been totally
useless. The knowlege base has too little in it, and nothing that helps
with this matter, and the supported hardware list is essentially
chipsets. I haven’t a clue what chipset is in these things! And when
they list a product code it isn’t anything I can find in the Data Comm
catalog.

I’m sure I’m not the first to go through this exercise.

Bill,

I use a Socket LP-E. It works great, with the bonus that it has low power consumption (lasts a long time on battery). It also has an industrial strength cable connection that doesn’t break (like most other pcmcia ethernet cards).

Bill,
I’ve used a 3Com Megahertz 10 Mbps pcmcia card on a Toshiba Tecra
510CDT, a Gateway Solo 9300, and a Toshiba Tecra 8000 with no problem.
The model number is 3CCE589ET. This is the one without the XJACK
connector.

I use DLink DE-660

Do you know what the difference is between your model 3CCE589ET and a model
EC is?
