Jason,
You should search the lists for PCMCIA in May and June of this year. I had 
the same question as did at least one other person. After the good folks on 
this list responded to me I was able to get a card and get it running with 
no real problems.

This is from a response that I gave to another person earlier this month:
----
I just bought a Lucent Orinoco Silver 802.11b pcmcia card and it works like
a charm. $35/ebay.
After you pop it in, change your  /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia to:
PCMCIA=yes
PCIC=i82365
PCIC_OPTS=
CORE_OPTS=

reboot and you're all set.


Hope that helps.
