I'm sure that there are many brands that will work - I have a Belkin card as
well as an Intel card. The intel is out of production.
You can find information about the Belkin card at their web site -
http/catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Merchant_Id=&Section_Id=2
01523&pcount=&Product_Id=122691
If you're near a store like CompUSA, MicroCenter or even Best Buy, they sell
non-CardBus version of cards.
Hope this helps.
