hmm, I didn't know that there is a change from PCMCIA to cardbus. Thought still there are lot of pcmcia stuff around. wlan cards, eg my dial up card (CF card into a PCMCIA adapter). Well I wouldn't abandon PCMCIA so fast. At least the linux kernel is know for beeing able to use very old hardware in a very good way ...
