It shouldn't be that expensive for a plain 10/100 network card, and as long as you don't get something too obscure, it should work fine in Linux. Or do you need the phoneline networking capability? Of course, my inexpensive claim is based upon prices in the US. If they will ship to you, www.newegg.com has one for about $5 (not including shipping) that even says it works with Linux: http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=33-130-107&depa=0 Your other option that may or may not work is to try using ndiswrapper with the windows drivers: http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/ I would not count on it working though. It doesn't say anything about Windows XP, just 98 and ME, and it is wired not wireless, so it may not even use NDIS. If you cannot buy a PCI card, then you might try this. Hope this helps. -- Jonathan Happy Easter! "'Don't be alarmed,' he said. 'You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here.
