<< Would wireless NIC's made by any manufacture work with a SMC wireless router? >>

Yes they should, as long as they are 802.11b NICs. That is why the 802.11b standard exists afterall, but of course, YMMV, and sometimes people do report incompatibilities.


<< And why is it that most PCI adapters I see have this slot for a PCMCIA card and requires one to operate? >>

I dunno. Just to simplify production for a low volume part I suppose?
