Yes. Sorry... I was a bit fast to give up on that, because you wrote that  
it might need a bit of tweaking to get to work.
I searched their site and found only 2 drivers for Linux - none for the  
pcmcia-card. But I should have used google instead... :-)

Found some sites that described how to use the card. Then I searched for  
some dealers and found that the solution may be a bit to expensive for  
me....
