I work in a Distributor of Lucent products in Brasil. Here a lot of ISP
works with Wireless Lan products in Linux.
It works fine.

I think that MINI PCI is for OEM only.

You can install a PCI/ISA PCMCIA adapter in your desktop and after this
process install PCMCIA ORiNOCO Wireless LAN card. Mandrake 8.0 have a module
for these cards (wvlan_cs).

I use ORiNOCO PCMCIA in my notebook running Mandrake 8.0.
