I've been trying to find a linux-compatible parallel ethernet adapter.
Since I recently got an older 486 laptop with no PCMCIA slots. I read
that a Xircom pocket ethernet will not work. Pretty much the only places
I know where to look are Ebay and Pricewatch.com.

Ebay has mostly Xircoms, but there is one Kingston that I found. Is a
Kingston poket ethernet parallel adapter compatible with Linux? I
haven't found any specific information about it, but I supposed it's
possible Kingston just used another company's chip in it.

Failing that, does anyone know WHERE to buy a Linux-compatible parallel
port ethernet adapter? I know pretty much what I need to buy, I just
need someone to point me to someone that sells one.

I'd like to buy one of the recommended Accton or DLINK ones, but they
are not to be found (at least where I'm looking).

Thanks,
John Broadhead
