54Mbps/PCMCIA wlan card for an X terminal?

Dear all

I have a notebook produced many years ago, some Pentium 200MHz with
14-inch screen at XGA. I rarely used it so it's very fresh new. I have a
powerful server computer in another room.

Now I am thinking of using the notebook as a wireless X terminal, and
use the server as X terminal server.

The notebook has a 16-bit PCMCIA slot. In theory it supports up to 42.4
Mbit/s for PCMCIA card. I can plugin in a 11Mbps WLAN card in it, but in
my old experience with 10BASE-T network, 10Mbps is not fast enough for
use with X-terminal at XGA (it lags). I wish to use a 54Mbps
high-bandwidth wireless card on the notebook.

So the question is: does there exist a 54Mbps WLAN card that can work on
16-bit PCMCIA slot? In best case I probably can get close to 40Mbps
connection! I doubt if such product exists because I remember when
54Mbps WLAN is invented, the 16-bit PCMCIA slot is almost dead on the
market. Also if I search on ebay China, 100% wireless card did not say
it is 16-bit PCMCIA compatible. I think even if there exists such a
card, the seller wouldn't know its spec, thus I must find the correct
model and search particularly that module on ebay.

Thanks in advance. Also I'd very thankful if you can provide suggestions
how I can find such a product (model).

Best regards
