[GLLUG] Is this USB2 PCMCIA card compatible w/ Linux?

[Yao-Ying Chien]

Hi,

Thanks for you guys' suggestions and helps. I finally bought a laptop. A IBM ThinkPad T22, 900MHz. One of the features I appreciate most is that it has middle button which is rare in today's laptops. It makes copy and paste intuitively.

However it has only USB-1 port. So I am about to buy USB-2 PCMCIA card. I am looking at a "TRENDnet 4-Port USB 2.0 Host PC Card (model TU2-H4PC)",

I googled, but could not find anyone discussed its compatibility with Linux or divers. Can I expect that Linux would automatically recognize the card? Or I better stay away?

Suggestions on USB-2 PC cards are welcome.
