I have seen a/b cards manufactured with the traditional pcmcia adapter
and have inquired to Atheros about the possibility of a card that exists
in the market with their drivers, pcmcia support, and an external
antenna adapter. I will keep all posted as to what I find, as this will
be a key part of upgrading the old school equipment to 802.11a.

I believe it is a issue of the design specs of the slot being 5v for
cardbus vs. 3.3v for pcmcia. There are probably some other issues as
well
but it is equal to the technology advances in hard drives, USB, PCI,
etc.
