Interesting site - strangely they list some things that are supported
by the stock Sun Solaris PCMCIA drivers (such as the 'SanDisk FlashDisk
PCMCIA PC Card ATA'). The 802.11 driver looks like it'd do the job
fine on a SPARCbook (but the driver is for Solaris 8 and costs $100).
Now if only they did a Bluetooth driver :)
