Well the soekris web page says 3.3V, 2 watt and not room in the case for a standard PCI card. I think (although I may be completley wrong) that the Orinoco cards take 5V as that is the voltage from a PC card slot?. Lucent make a MiniPCI card which might help you though. I would imagine for your puposes you would want to be able to attach external aerials as well - you'd have to check if they support this or if they have integrated antennas.
