WiFi PC Card for a laptop?

Hello Sara,

My laptop has two USB 1.1 ports (no USB 2.0), so USB WiFi adapter won't
do :-(
However, I would consider a PC Card which serves as USB hub together
with an USB WiFi adapter.

Does such a symbiote exist and work well with Linux?
Where could I try such a combination before buying hardware?

Thanks,
--- Omer
