Can anyone tell me which Ethernet Lan Card would work on netbook? I know the card bus type doesn't work.

There are just so many ethernet cards I don't which one would work...

Thanks

The Psion Dacom Gold Card Netglobal 56K + Fax 10Mb Ethernet card works. Bought mine from Expansys but they don't have them any more.

I believe you need a Psion card that is a combo Modem and Ethernet. Mustn't be cardbus. The Expansys site shows other cards which _may_ work but others have noted that Expansys' descriptions of products and the photos they show are not always right.

This _looks_ like a 10/100 version of the card I have but I am not sure:

Anyone elsse bought this and working on Psion?

Once again, I would direct you to check my FAQ - I have a compatibility chart for supported wired and wireless cards.

Unfortunately, the only wired cards that have been shown to work are Psion-branded, and as you know ONLY PCCard (16 bit) models will work. There are two ranges, the Dacom range and the CombineIT range. All CombineIT ones should work (and use less power), but only some Dacom cards work. IIRC the ethernet-only cards should be avoided, as should the WANGlobal ones.
