Bought a PCMCIA cards about two weeks ago.  Both Linksys and Dlink list Linux
support right on the box.  Bought Dlink because I will never forgive Linksys for
screwing with their chipset,  popped it in, did a sum total of setting the
protocol to DHCP via control-panel, and brought it up using the Gnome PPP dialer
applett (it does every type of network interface).  Was on the new surfing.
