Ahah that was you, the hot breath in my neck all the time;) Yeah, I'm looking...all over e-bay too...they're hard to find. I've only found one untill now. That's a linksys that uses prism1 chips....runs with the orrinoco driver. Still got 3 more (older) laptops to go, though admittedly even finding wired cards for them is getting hard. On the other hand the Sitecom version 1 cards have prism2 chips and so do the Belkin version 1 (version 2 and up run atmel chips) but the sitecom is a cardbus afaik, so that would be slot 2 :( If you've got PCMCIA slot 2 there's probably a USB slot too, so use that....the Sitecom wl_012 works fine using the prism2_usb module with a few workarounds. I did get a Sweex PCI card to play ball (as well as a cardbus) but not more than 5.5Mb bitrate. These use rtl18080 ver2 chips.......stay away from them if you can, only broadcom is worse.
