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.
