If anyone can get the rebate coupon to print out properly, please tell me how, because the print out I get is missing the text on the left hand side.

oh yeah, forgot to mention that I'm getting this for my new Inspiron 4000. Not so pissed that I forgot to buy the internal NIC now

Same thing on clearance at Office Depot B&M if it is the Linksys USB Network Adapter Model No. USB10T. $19.95, no rebate required.

I'm pretty sure the OD one is just 10bT, though, not 10/100

Also, if you use this external USB one, you will save an IRQ, which may be handy in the future. In addition, swapable to another system quickly.

Also saves an extra slot too.

I don't understand how a 10/100 mb/s NIC could work with a USB port. The speed of the USB port is only 12mb/s. The card may be able to receive data at 100 mb/s but it is impossible for it to transmit data to the computer faster than 12 mb/s through the USB connection.

You are correct, the one I mention is 10, not 100. Great for cable modem connection or to transport.
