Good. Now we can work on figuring out why the Linksys PCcard is not working.

Your lan cable is probably not the problem. You have the latest and
greatest, and if it was sold as a lan cable, it is has the correct
standard, particularly since it lists the cable as CAT5e. But just in case
the new cable has a bad connector termination, try using the previous lan
cable you were using. The previous cable should work just fine.

I just re-read your post (first paragraph above) and unless you changed
the lan cable from the new cable to the previous one when you re-installed
the EtherJet PC card, the new cable is just fine.
