I'd been having a devil of a time trying to get my IIci to interface well with my office network. The issue is that our office is all 2.5G to the desktop and even if we set the switches to 10/half the Asante and DaynaPort Nubus cards simply would not link up. We tried using a Farallon Starlet 10/100 hub to bridge the divide, but that had its own issues with broadcast traffic causing enough collisions on the hub to make communications spotty at best. Then I had a random thought: how about a Wifi bridge? So I snagged a $35 Iogear Wifi bridge (Part number GWU637) and it turns out this was the cheapest and easiest fix. It links up to the old 10B-T cards without issue, somehow the Nubus cards aren't offended by the modern broadcast stuff that the Starlet was having issue with and the dongle is small enough to just tuck away under the desk. If you're having issues with an old card, you might want to give this a whirl, I'll be getting another one when my SE/30's ethernet card arrives.
