    I bought a lifetime supply of the stock ethernet cards, and for the life of me I don't know what I'm going to do with them. Anyone need one? $2 incl. shipping to a US address, $2.50 to Canada, Other countries let me know and I'll give you a price.

    Check, money order, credit cards through google, or FUNDED paypal.

    It should fit in any mini PCI slot, and has the standard connector for wiring an RJ45 ethernet jack into.

    1. How many you want? I've got 'em :)

    2. Do you need the CF-28 lan/modem port assembly?

    I'm actually gonna try the card in a Mikrotik RB133. Not sure which ethernet drivers are part of RouterOS, but for a few bucks, why not give it a try? Yes, I'll need the lan/modem port assembly if that includes the cable(s) and connector to the card. Email me at [email protected] with your price.
    Thanks!

    Hello!
    I'm also interested in using this card with Mikrotik RB333 as additional LAN interface. I would also need the lan port assembly. Can you please e-mail me with the picture of the card and your price to [email protected]

    @stewartpe, did you have luck in using this card with Mikrotik?

    Thanks!

    unfortunately no.. unless a good hardware tech takes a look at the miniPCI adapters that are common in CF27s and figures out why they seem only to work with aztech modem cards!

    I presume aztec modem cards are merely 56k dial up? ah well, thanks for replying!

    I picked up a usb to lan adapter for dirt cheap yesterday, even though usb1.1 is only 12mbps, i've been told i can achieve download speeds of over 1meg/second (if the transfer rate allows of course) which seems pretty good to me.

    Oops. It looks as if we left a few of Gravitar's BST posts up inadvertently. Kuerious, Gravitar passed away a little while ago. These items are no longer available. We do apologize for the mistake and will remove his posts here ASAP. I hope you understand.

    Thanks for that Paul... I don't know how I missed this one... I thought I had them all closed...
    Oh... And the card Kevin had was NOT the card you are looking for. The one in your picture is the IBM type dual LAN/Modem card. The one Kevin had was just a NIC card. Toughbooks had on LAN card and one Modem card. The IBM type integrates both into one card.
