Hi,
Since all Apple laptops have had built-in ethernet for many years, there wouldnt be much of a market for PCMCIA ethernet adapters with OS X drivers.
If you post what model laptop you have, and what you are trying to accomplish (e.g. dealing with broken built in ethernet, needing 2 ethernet adapters for 2 different connections, etc.) perhaps there is another solution.

Let's start by putting this in the right forum. It isn't about a PowerBook, it's about an ethernet PC card that has OS X drivers. I'm sure you'll get more help in the Networking forum...

I dont think you will find an ethernet PCMCIA card for OS X.
If you absolutely need ethernet, you may need to go for the repair.
How would you use the ethernet port? mabye there is another solution. e.g. if its for connecting a printer, maybe you could use a USB connection instead. Or add a router with wired ethernet ports to your wireless network?

amazing: Looks like a good find at a good price !
One note, the drivers specify OS 10.2 - 10.3
ryanhugh: If you get it, why dont you post back how it works out for you, and if it works with OS 10.4
Enjoy,

If the 10.2 103 thing is worrisome, contact OWC and they'll tell you if it's compatible with Tiger
