Not with success - yet. I've a Cisco card (which should be supported
as aironet) Look also for prism54 cards and/or orinoco chipset
Laptop only has 12M of memory so it's going to be a while until I can
sort it out.

Google _very_ carefully for names/types of any cards you intend buying. 
It's not PCMCIA but my Netgear PCI card is a WG311v2 - v1 was readily
supported - v2 is not supported with a "free enough" driver. Most
people use ndiswrapper in this sort of situation.

OpenBSD is lobbying manufacturers to open their specs or provide free
drivers.

HTH,
