I'm looking for a 10/100 ethernet card for my TP 701, and also saw
the New Media card, except at Onsale
http://www.onsale.com/category/inv/00000325/01978467.htm
 with 83 units at a current bid range of $11-$21. However, Onsale says
it has a 1-yr warranty provided by New Media, so might they still be
in biz?

Onsale also has a TRENDnet 10/100 32-bit card @ $59 w/ a lifetime
warranty. Anybody here know anything about that card? Also does the
32-bit architecture necessarily imply a faster transfer rate?
