[geeks] PCMCIA Gigabit NIC

True, and both the primary fileserver and laptop are
firewire equipped but i don't think i can get a fire
wire cable to go from upstairs to down stairs (what's
the max 1394 distance?). And besides i do occasionally
need to transfer files from other, non firewire,
machines. I'd have to swap PCMCIA cards since the 1394
card and Zircom nic both take up two slots.

If i don't find anything i'll just stick with 100mb on
the laptop.

Thanks,
/KRM
