The best working PCMCIA cards for Linux are the Orinoco Gold cards and 
their real cheap on Ebay.
Go onto ebay.com and do a search for "Orinoco Gold Cards"

I can also use the Gold Cards with a  PCI adapter on a PC. Go onto 
google and do a search for   "pcipc"
and you will see a pci adapter that will work right out of the box with 
a Orinoco Gold Card plugged in.

Goto website below and see pci adapter I'm speaking of, there are number 
of pci adapters out there, but you only
want to get the adapter that has the  main chipset of a Texas Instument  
Logo on it , and the crosshatch in where
the pcmcia card goes. The pci adapters that have a PLX or Ricoh cipset 
won't work in Linux.
