Wireless on Libretto 70CT

I have a Libretto 70CT laptop.

I would like to get a wireless PCMCIA card for it

I have been looking for a compatible 16-bit card for it without a lot of
success

The only card I found that works on it is the Orinoco Silver Wavelan card.

However it is an older card that does not support the 11MBps and does not
work with my SMC Barricade 802.11g router.

Does anyone know which 802.11b 16-bit card will work with the Libretto70CT?

Thanks,
Robert

On my Lib110CT I use a Cisco Aironet 350 card. A bit expensive and maybe
not easy to come by these days (I suspect production has ceased) but
otherwise it performs flawlessly in all OS-es I've installed on my Lib.

On the web there are quite a number of overviews on e.g., Linux and OS/2
supported cards where PC-Card vs. Cardbus aspects are highlighted - esp.
OS/2 compatible wifi cards are usually (....still) 16-bit. Just google a
bit harder.....
