Inspiron Wireless Networking

I am trying to find a wireless network card providing WPA-PSK authentication with AES encryption that I can install in one of the PCMCIA Type II slots of my 1999 Dell Inspiron 7000 laptop computer. The computer has 96 MB of RAM and runs Windows 98 SE. I want to add this computer to an existing wireless network that has AES encryption. The cards providing AES encryption that I have tried so far require a PCI/MCIA Type II "Card Bus" slot, and my Dell computer fails to detect them during the installation process. If all of the newer cards require a "Card Bus" slot, would it be practical upgrade my computer to support "Card Bus"? Expert advice would be much appreciated.

After failures with several other cards, I was able to install a Linksys Wireless-G Notebook Adapter WPC54G Version 3. It works well and provides all the desired security. Before installing the wireless adapter, I installed a 128 MB SODIMM from 4 All Memory to increase the total memory of my Dell Inspiron 7000 laptop computer to 224 MB of SDRAM. I am posting this information in case anyone else encounters a similar problem.
