I can't offer comment on WRP, but I have played with the WaveLAN card in Bering. The ISA-PCMCIA adapter I have is made by RayCom with a Ricoh chipset.
I was able to have the card recognized and configured, but the lights would not go on and it wouldn't operate. Two high beeps, but not much else :-( I was working with a 486SLC chip... Not a real screamer by any stretch of the imagination. Moved the hardware to a P166 and everything worked on the first boot. In my research to sort out the problem, I saw some module parameters relating to time delays for various card operations. I haven't had a chance to move back to the old box and play with these numbers, but I am very suspicious that they are the issue with slow hardware. Whether your 486-100 is 'too slow' I don't know, but it may be something to explore. I was using the wavelan2_cs driver. Good luck! Hopefully someone else can provide more help.
