Well, cardbus is a type of PCMCIA, or PC Card. It might not matter, but if 
the laptop is /old/, or to be on the safe side, look for a package without 
cardbus printed on it. I bought, a few years ago, a Linksys PCMPC100, 
though I forget what the market name for it is, it had linux drivers on 
the floppy, but Mandrake 7 or 8 found it just fine without.
