I have no experience with the Lucent PCI adapter.  But I bought two
of the Linksys cards that probe/attach as a 'wi0' and I also bought 
one of their PCI adapters into which the card is intended to go.  I
have a memory fragment of someone telling me the lucent adapter is 
similar.

The Linksys PCI card is _not_ a PCI<->PCMCIA adapter.  It is a 
PCI network card when the pcmcia card is plugged in:

unknown vendor 0x16ab product 0x1102 (miscellaneous network, revision 0x02) at p
ci0 dev 15 function 0 not configured

I ignored the warnings on the box when I bought it, it's claims that it
supported _only_ their adapter. 

I have several ISA<->PCMCIA bridges but the machine in question has only
1 ISA slot and there's a PC Weasel in it.
