As PCMCIA cards aren't supported by genmac yet, you would be restricted 
to an 11b card which you'd have to acquiere at Ebay or so (11b cards 
aren't fabricated anymore).
At Ebay there are still currently available cisco 350 cards, some at 
appalling prices (over 50 euro, don't do that),  usually they go for 20 
euro or so.
If you are in Europo, you could have one of mine for 10 euro (included 
porto), which would you enable  to wait till Genmac does support  11g  
PCMCIA.
