And yet I was able to call dell and just order an older card to go in my Inspiron. (A standard 802.11b card; orinoco on a pci->cardbus bridge.) The only regulatory info they mentioned was including a pack of the certified-by stickers to replace the ones that were on the laptop from the original card.
I'm dubious. (And also consider that I can go buy a randomly-branded antenna to plug into my orinoco pcmcia cards without having to get them certified together..)
