[ltp] pcmcia wireless card for T23

[Rei Shinozuka]

does the 3com X jack use the same internals?  i only ask because i haave 
used the xjack on my T23 (only under windoze however).  it was very 
convenient, as the antenna stores inside the body of the card; i.e., you
never need to take the card out when putting the laptop away. i really
hated that. 

on the bad side, reception with the xjack is noticably not as strong 
as the orinoco gold i used to have.
but if you are in an area with strong signals and if the xjack is linuxible,
you might consider the xjack for the convenience factor.
