Non-cardbus cards don't have that little gold band around the bottom of the
card.
I don't think that's always going to be a definate means of identifying the
difference between cardbus and non-cardbus PC cards.
Here's a link to Raymond's drawing of the edges of the cardbus and
non-cardbus cards. I'm pretty sure it's the most reliable way of spotting
the right one (non-cardbus) when you see it Jack:

Among the replies to the thread above, aberge3 posted a note saying that he
got a Belkin Wireless card adapter F506020 ver.2 wireless card working in
his Lib 70 (also 16 bit bus):

The thread was initiated by ujb who was also looking for a wireless card for
his 70... :

I wonder if he ever found one that worked for him.
Keep us posted on what you come up with Jack.

I'm pretty sure the problem here is that you are trying to use Cardbus
wireless cards. You may be stuck with 802.11b here. Non-cardbus cards don't
have that little gold band around the bottom of the card. They are kinda
hard to find...here's one:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16833129120
I'm pretty sure that'll work, since it's not cardbus, but I don't have it
so I of course can't say for certain. That particular one, though, would
require you to install Win98SE.
Also, if you happen to have a USB card that already works with your
Libretto, you could always just get a USB adapter. But that wouldn't be any
fun :)
