There are quite a few cards on the market now. Have a look at this one:
http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3042632186&category=19578

In the description it says that the card may be used in any WinCE PDA
or Notebook using PCMCIA adapter. That's why I asked if anybody used
it on BSD.
So you say that some special driver is needed.. This makes it less
attractive than USB dongle. And it is much more expensive anyway.

Thank you for your help!
