Compaq laptop (on a quest)

Spec:
166Mhz Pentium (replaced the P133 chip)
32mb RAM (replaced 24mb)
keyboard replaced
1.3Gb HD
Win 98

Here's the issue. This laptop does not recognize Card bus PC cards. A while ago I tested it with a wifi pc card (card bus) and it didn't work, which I later figured out was because it didn't support it.

So I want to know, are there any non-card bus wifi pc cards out there? Could someone point me in their direction?

It's a Pentium laptop, no USB sir.

It has IrDA though, probably not 4mbs, but if it can muster broadband internet speeds then it should suffice.

What about PC card to USB? I already own a USB wifi device. Do you know where I can get a NON-card bus PC card to USB female adapter?
