Which wireless PCMCIA cards are supported by the WirelessDriver?

This driver is only for 3rd party wireless cards that plug into the PCMCIA slot on Apple Powerbooks. Most cards should be supported for basic non-encrypted networking, many cards will support 40-bit encryption and some have been reported to support 128 bit. The table below provides a list of cards that we believe are supported. Entries with an asterisk have yet to be confirmed/denied. Note: You *cannot* replace the internal Airport card on a PowerBook or iBook with a PCCard. The Airport cards use a proprietary bus that is much closer in design to an IDE interface than a PCCard and could cause hardware failure if attempted.
