Re: Cardbus cards in Pre-Cardbus PCMCIA laptops?

I'm not aware of any 16-bit PCMCIA USB adapters; certainly none that
work with Linux. There are 16-bit wireless cards; look for 802.11b
cards (11 mbit/sec), not the faster 802.11g (54 mbit/sec). And make
sure they specifically advertise 16-bit. Check the Wireless-HOWTO for
lists of supported cards.

There's plenty of 16 bit 10mbps ethernet cards, so 802.11a doesn't
really help. The problem is the limited speed of the pcmcia socket.
You're just not going to get 54 mbps through it.
