A card with "g" is a "g" card, whether or not it supports "b". Check
for linux drivers for any wireless card before buying it. There are a
few "g" chipsets supported, but not many. *ndiswrapper support will
not work on a Zaurus!*

There are 1 or 2 drivers written by wireless companies for the Sharp
ROM. SDIO is a closed spec (the new lite one may be open, but AFAIK no
drivers are written yet) so there is no SDIO support for OZ or
mainstream Linux.
