Cardbus cards in Pre-Cardbus PCMCIA laptops?

I've got an old laptop I'd like to upgrade from Win95 to Linux or *BSD,
but it's pre-USB and the PCMCIA slots are pre-Cardbus. If I plug in a
Cardbus card (e.g. Wireless or USB), will it work, but more slowly, or
will it not work at all, and will Linux be able to recognize it? The
current disk drive is 1GB, which is big enough for smaller Linux
distros like DSL or Puppy, but USB would let me do something more
interesting, but otherwise I'm probably limited to Samba file sharing
from a Windows machine over 10 Mbps wired Ethernet. Thanks!
