This is a 16-bit card: it can't go any faster

Re: Dell Latitude LM and 3c574, no 100Mbit, only 10Mbit??? (Mike)

The 3c574 card is a 16-bit PCMCIA device. The 16-bit PCMCIA interface has a maximum throughput of about 1.5-2 MB/sec. That is the absolute best possible performance you can get from the 3c574, at 100baseT. CardBus ethernet cards can reach true 100baseT speeds. 16-bit PCMCIA cards cannot. The Linksys card you tried must have been the CardBus version of the EtherFast (there are two versions, one 16-bit, and one CardBus). -- Dave
