well the pci<->pcmcia card that comes with the d-link wireless cards works
fine in linux.

the output of lspci -v for that card is 

00:09.0 CardBus bridge: Ricoh Co Ltd RL5c475 (rev 80)
        Subsystem: Ricoh Co Ltd: Unknown device 0475
        Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 168, IRQ 12
        Memory at e7803000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K]
        Bus: primary=00, secondary=02, subordinate=05, sec-latency=176
Memory window 0: 10000000-103ff000 (prefetchable)
Memory window 1: 10400000-107ff000
        I/O window 0: 00001000-000010ff
        I/O window 1: 00001400-000014ff
        16-bit legacy interface ports at 0007

I am using the orinoco driver fine on that machine.

        See You
