Another issue is whether the PCMCIA-to-PCI adapter has
a PCI version higher than the motherboard. When I set
up my wireless network last year, the PCI adapter
didn't work. Turns out the motherboard was just PCI
version 2.1 compliant, and that adapter required at
least version 2.2. I had to settle for an
PCMCIA-to-ISA adapter instead.
