It's not a PCMCIA Card, but I bought a Netgear MA111 USB wireless
adaptor that worked perfectly with no drivers. I bought it the same day
I got the 9.2 CDs. I plugged in the MA111, installed the OS, fiddled
briefly with YAST (I had never done a wireless install in Linux before,
so it couldn't have been too difficult) and it just worked.
It's a USB thingie anout the same size as one of those keychain drives.
It's not PCMCIA, but if your laptop has a spare USB port, it's a good
cheap (sub $50) option.
