Orinoco card (often badged in the UK under the name "Avaya") are almost
always supported.  However the tools you want to run may affect the
chipset of card you need.  What are you planning to do with you wireless
connection/card? And exactly what distro and version are you trying to
run?  

Just a thought tho . . . Given that many cards are now supported by
Linux out of the box (so to speak), perhaps it's the laptop PCMCIA
interface and not the card that you are having problems with - What
laptop are you using?

I'm trying to find a wireless card for my laptop with an external 
antenna jack and linux drivers but the linux part is eliminating every 
one I have seen.

Suggestions...?
