The Orinoco Silver card has excellent driver support and particularly 
good range for a cardbus card.  I still have one, but my Dad kinda 
confiscated it for his machine.  If I recall, it was $17 new after 
shipping about 4.5-5.5 years ago.

If you need faster than 5Mbps wireless, you'll want to move to 802.11g 
(driver support gets iffy on 802.11g), but it should be plenty fast for 
any Internet tasks you have.  I've never looked into 802.11g PCMCIA 
cards as most the newer laptops use internal pci based cards.
