You can get PCMCIA-PCI adaptor cards - here's one:

and here's another:

Its natively supported under 'doze from Win98, apparently, so I
imagine there can't be too many linux issues :) Rob Clark says it'll
work on his page (freenet-antennas, above). I've never used one
myself, so I'm only going on what I've heard here.

Downside is that its an extra $66-$80 on top of the ~$70 PCMCIA card;
on the upside you should get decent support.
