You're better off trying to find a version 3 card.  I've, personally, 
never been able to get a ver 4 card working.  You can find them on ebay 
for pretty cheap.  Also, if you've got any friends that use the WPC11, 
and have had it for a year or so, there's a good chance you could just 
trade with them.

Push comes to shove, let me know, I might have one I can sell you.  I 
don't have an x86 lappy anymore, but I kept the ver3 card.  I love my 
Powerbook, so I don't think I'll need the other card any time soon.
