If you can find it, I volunteer to try it out. :-)

No this is from Lucent. They only make their WaveLAN 802.11 hardware
(wi(4)) in pcmcia shape so if you will not use it in a notebook you have
to buy an extra cradle. Previously we used the ISA based one, but because
ISA busses are getting scarce, we thought we will get a few of the PCI
cradles and see if we can get it working with FreeBSD.
