  This is mostly 2.4 kernel issue -- 2.6.x works more or less correctly
with SD cards (although, there are other problems with cards with higher
capacity -- reading beyond 224MB boundary fails sometimes, and the cause
is so far unknown).

  The issue with at76c503 WPA support is still not solved. But, at
least, there is some initial sleeve support in 2.6 CVS HEAD and with
patch submitted this evening, it should be possible to use PCMCIA wifi
adapters (tested is just orinoco one, but virtually any should work --
if doesn't, contact h5400-port mailing list).

  Again, all information here concern 2.6 kernel, which is not yet fully
ready for production deployment... .
