I bought a gigafast pcmcia adater last december with a 40 rebate... Mostly
because the website said it had linux support.

Long story short, im out 40 bucks and no linux support. Plus its a crappy
card!!! don't buy gigafast.

Too long ago, and I kept getting their word that the "check was in the mail"

Plus if the device works then there is a 15% restocking fee....

Just not an honest company.

The chances are it does work on Linux...but, you will need
the firmware and it is better supported in the latest distros.
