Except one, Dell TrueMobile 1300, which was described on that website as
PCMCIA-based 802.11g compatible card. But after I purchased one, I
discovered it is in fact a cardbus device. This means probably the
website has been wrong.

Yes, this is what I am going to do now. Thank you for the information!

Hi. I also noticed that there is no 54Mbit 16-bit PC Card everywhere on
the market. I just wonder if this is a bandwidth related issue?

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_device_bandwidths
it says, 16-bit PC Card bandwidth is from 31.36MBit/s to 160MBit/s. This
is significantly faster than 54Mbit/s bandwidth for 802.11g, thus why is
it not possible (available) for building 802.11g compatible 16-bit PC Card?

I also wonder this because I was told the 16-bit PC Card cannot be
100MBit/s Ethernet adapter because of bandwidth limitation. I don't
understand that too, the 16-bit PC Card maximum bandwidth is 60% higher
than 100MBit/s network bandwidth, why is it not possible? I know there
are overhead, but 60% probably is enough for overhead. Or is it
impossible to transfer data by word?
