You have answered your own question :-) Just insert a PCMCIA card and
the drivers/software that will come with it for your system and look
for your local network. No special settings, passwords etc needed.

>any reccomendations of cards, too?

The Buffalo/Lucent/Orinoco/Agere ones seem to be most popular (they
are all the same cards with different badges)
