The WDT11 adapter isn't a real pcmcia bridge, and doesn't (currently) work
under Linux.  It reportedly does fine under windoze (although I wouldn't
know.  ;)

You might be able to get the pcmcia card going in an actual pcmcia bus (as
it reportedly uses the Prism2 chipset) but from what I understand it
doesn't go out of the box.  The newer Prism2 drivers are all still beta, as
far as I know.

The WPC11 card also doesn't have an external antenna connector...  =(
