Cardbbus is cardbus, but you might well want to rethink your choice of a
Limksys card. I just got a 10Mbit version for someone, and the way the
dongle connects into the PCMCIA card is *lousy*. In fact, it basically
came pre-broken from the factory. I do not hold out much useful life for
this card. The only saving grace for me is that the person I bought it for
is almost never in his office. So, I'd look around a bit more for other cards.
