Actually, what may be even more humorous is that Microsoft's networking hardware is pretty standard Accton/SMC OEM stuff, which would probably work just fine under Linux.  I know that the MN-520 (wireless PCMCIA card), for example, works great under RedHat 9.

Humorous aside: I went looking in Circuit City initially and couldn't easily 
find the PCMCIA hardware so I told the salesperson that I wanted a PCMCIA 
Ethernet card that was Linux-compatible. He led me right to the Microsoft 
card, ignoring all of the other manufacturers. I laughed and said, "I'm 
pretty sure they're the _last_ manufacturer who's going to be 
Linux-compatible!"
