I have had "bad luck" with those LinkSys cards...  I have 3 of the 5.1, 
and 1, of the 4.0 I bought at Frye's Electronics.

One of the Ver 5.1, I installed in a 2000 Model Year HP, WinXP Pro 
showed it as a Ver 4.0 (What?!?!), and my OS/2 Warp 4.52 would not see 
it at all... I just recently Re-Built that machine, and replaced the 
LinkSys with an Intel Pro 100 Managed card (bought for $5.00).

I stick with the Intel Pro (10/100/1000) and 3Com (3c509, 3c905).  I 
just got 4 3c905 cards Saturday, an 'A' level, a 'B' level, and 2, 'C' 
level, $3.00 each!!!
