Then look for something that looks like a wireless network card. You need to find the chipset used on that card. Atheros or Prisim has an excellent chance of working. Broadcom or Texas Instruments will be an issue. Search with google for wireless linux chipset. You will find lots of old links with 802.11B info. You have to dig deep to find the newer G cards that work. Or you can buy a PCI 2 PCMCIA adapter and use one of the many laptop G cards that work.
