[Thinkpad] Re: PCMCIA devices

[dave]

I just installed an older 10/100 Linksys network card on my TP570 (WME) last
night.  I downloaded the proper exe program from the Linksys website to
install the card and after that program was installed on the TP, I could
properly install the card.
I tried connecting to my DSL router and the other networked computers last
night and all was fine.  I don't think that I let it fall asleep though.
:-)

Do you want me to try it to see if I have problems with sleep?
later,
dave
