WPA will only work for GenMAC supported devices, I am reasonably sure
about that. And since this is a software solution, I would assume that
it will work for any GenMAC supported device.
I know that there are Cardbus cards that work with GenMAC, but I also
know that it can be hard to get them to work. (and btw, only Cardbus
cards will work with GenMAC, no PCMCIA!)
But since I have never done that before, I cannot comment any further.
My best guess is searching the GenMAC list for supported Cardbus "g"
cards and trying one of those.
