All those interphases are the same for the most part, PCMCIA is what cardbus used to be called in the 16bit days (its still some times used today) type 2 is just the hight of the slot used and 32bit cardbus is just the standard (eg like a PCI slot for a normal pc)

pcmcia=16 bit
cardbus=32 bit

usually 🙂

unless its an old notebook that only takes 16 bit pcmcia (<2000) get the cardbus.

Linksys and DLink is a good place to start looking of wireless PCMCIA or cardbus cards.

I've said it before - Senao. There is nothing out there even close. Every other recommendation is by the ignorant.

I'm sorry, I DID NOT KNOW YOU ARE GOD OF NETWORKING! enuf said. Sure Senao is the god of long range wireless but range it's not everything in wireless. In fact, I reduce my router output to 50% to minimize stray signal thus wardriver's from accessing my network.
