[Xen-users] Looking for xen-compatible NIC for Laptop

[Kees van Beek <kees.van.beek@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello list!

I'm a novice linux-user, on his first Xen-adventure. To shorten a long story:

First I find out my Dell 9400 laptop, uses a broadcom-nic-chip which is 
currently broken :( http://bugzilla.xensource.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=931

So I run to the store, grab a pcmcia-card, to find out my laptop uses something 
which Dell calls ExpressCard. Which looks exactly the same as a PCMCIA, but 
isnt... 

I can find a store within miles who actually sells this format, so I'm looking 
for a widely available usb-based ethernet adapter. I really don't care how fast 
it is, what color it has, and what it had for dinner. I just need it to *work*, 
so I can go home and finally get some VM's talking to each other and the 
outside world :-)

Does anybody have any experience with usb-ethernet adapters? Will it work, is 
there a preffered or well supported chipset (like realtek rlt81xx) or something?

Any thoughts are appreciated :-)

Kind regards,

Kees
