Okay, I've now had two NE2000 Ethernet Cards not work with the MobilePro 900
(either on CE3.0 or 4.2
), which leads me to believe there's something wonky with the built in driver that I can't override.
Anyway, I found a few ethernet cards, and I don't mind paying more if it just works, because it's been annoying to keep fail. Thus, I'm staying away from further NE2000 chips.
TLDR: Options 5 or 6 seem the most safe even if I hate non dongle cards
Option 1: Socket 8510-00093C
*Doesn't seem to officially be in the HCL, but probably uses the same driver as the existing listings / I prefer dongle based cards as they fit flush
Option 2: ; Option 3: ; Option 4:
*Don't seem to officially be in the HCL either, but are the same model name as
this, so maybe the likelihood of success is higher than option 1
Option 5: I'm leaning towards this even though it's annoying and bulky, because it exactly matches an
HCL listing here
Option 6: ^Seems to appear to look the same as option 5, even if the model numbers are different, so it may be a safe risk to save $10 USD to try it
