    My problem with the LNE100TX cards is this: I have 3 of those cards sitting in a box, all marked "LNE100TX", they all have different chip sets. You think they could change the model number, but no that would be too easy. Instead, they put a version number in really tiny print on the bottom of the box.
    Thanks but no thanks.
