We used a PCI to PC-CARD adaptor from Lucent where we installed an
PCMCIA Orinoco card. It needed some some configuration tweaking to get
the PCI card to work. The rest was normal wireless card setting. I have
my notes somewhere. We ended up using something else for other reasons,
but the setup worked fine.
