This kind of thing is prob what you want
http://www.ebay.ie/sch/i.html?_nkw=pcmcia+802.11&_sacat=58058&_odkw=&_osacat=58058

PC Card/Cardbus/PCMCIA card

I used a Netgear one for a long while, a W500T

If you don't want to wait for ebay, I expect Maplin might have one. Its kind of old technology now though. Most laptops don't have slots like that now.
