I successfully ran similar cardbus adaptors several years ago, before
PCI-based WiFi cards were available.  They worked for me.  However,
I seem to recall that some would work and some wouldn't, and that it
was very hard to tell from the description which would work.  You might
want to buy from a vendor which doesn't charge a restocking fee.

You also need to watch out for the power requirements.  The Qube only
supports 5V PCI cards;  3.3V cards will silently fail, as I found out
the hard way. :-)  Presumably the cardbus adaptors all draw 5V, but
I really wouldn't know.

Good luck,

Kevin
