HPNA cards for GCT-PC network...What works, what doesnt?

I was wondering what type of HPNA card would work between The GCTP and a windows PC...I tried using a Diamond HomeFree PNA card in my NT box but I could never get it to communicate with the GCTP. What PNA setup worked for you?

I'm using a Diamond HomeFree HPNA+ethernet combo card just fine. Picked it up off of eBay for $1.00. WinME running on both GCTP and Wintel box.

Nope, just the WinME Home Networking and Internet Connection Sharing. Oh yeah, I'm using the drivers found at

http://www.sonicblue.com/support/diamond/default.asp?menu=support&submenu=Home_Networking&item=drivers&product=HomeFree_Phoneline

You might check out ftp://ftp.diamondmm.com/pub/home-networking/homefree_phoneline/homefree_pna-nt_102-driver.txt for help setting it up on your NT box.

VansMan, In case you are still wondering Win2k should auto-detect and install drivers for a broadcom-chipset HPNA adapter. Thats what I got with mine when I installed 2k on my box.

Just tried out the Diamond HPNA on my XP box and it works great! (Using W2k Drivers) I am able to enable network bridge between it and my regular NIC, so my GCT(s?) route through my desktop to my 'main' network.

Also, Buy.com did have these adapters free after rebate. It seems to be off and on, so check every few days for stock.

Once I get an alt OS on my GTCs, can I use any mini pci type IIIa NIC in it (providing the card is supported by the OS)? I'm going to run Win2k on one and the linux image posted here on the other.

Thanks,

drun-
 The midori image right now supports the original realtek ethernet and some USB adapters.
 Once I get back home (due back friday, turn my damn web server back on), I'll check my
 kernel config and list the ethernet modules being built.
