wireless 802.11g PCMCIA card in Slack kernel


I'm using Slackware 11 with kernel 2.4.33.3 on my old notebook and want to upgrade my 802.11b Orninoco PCMCIA card to a 802.11g card. I don't have much drive space to compile ndiswrapper modules. Is there a 802.11g PCMCIA card that has drivers ready in a kernel? If so, which kernel would I need?

I'm not really sure. But here's a great place to look up wireless cards that are (or are not) supported in Linux:

anyone know if the modules can be enabled in any of the kernels for an 802.11g PCMCIA card? If so, which kernel and which card?
