Are there any adapters which can let me use my old Xircom Realport Ethernet
10/100 with Modem cardbus (PCMCIA) to my desktop PCI slot.

I saw ads for similar adapters for wireless network adapters which have a
slot to fit in the wireless pcmcia card so that it can be used in a desktop.

just thought if anyone knew of a similar adapter for my adapter (since I
have this extra card).

Thanks
Rajesh

the SBP-C2CP is a rear mounted Breakout with 2 type II cardbus sockets
a front mounted is not available due to Cardbus cable length requirements
this takes up 2 Slots of your Desktops motherboard 1 for Breakout & 1 for
PCI Interface card

They exist but it'd be much cheaper to just buy a PCI 10/100
network card.

DKH
actually you can get brand new PCI 10/100 Nics for less than $20 US

But his question was whether a Pccard to PCI adapter existed, not how much
"you" pay for PCI nic's

You can get a good PCI NIC for less than $20 if you check your local office max,
best buy, or circuit city stores. I'm sure any available adapter would be more
than that if available.
