Central computer has pcmcia wifi 802.11b cards for $40 which claim to
work with Linux. When I went to install it, the drivers were compiled
for the Redhat kernels.
Th card is a ConnectGear We320 which uses the realtek rtl-8180

I've tried to RTFM, but all the howtos I've found either assume that I
know something I don't, or are step by step recipies for a different
system (step 1, download the RPMs), or are out of date.
What are the basic steps for getting a pcmcia wireless card to work on
a debian laptop?

Last night I returned the ConnectGear card (I think it was a we320, it
used the realtek rtl 1080 chipset) and bought an ambicom wl100-pc/pci
card. It was $90, but it was the only other card at Central that
claimed to work with Linux. There were a couple others that might
have.

Good news, it looks like homeowners insurance will buy me a
"comparable" laptop to replacey my Gateway Liberty. I hope that they
don't require my new one to be a 486. :)
What I would be looking for is a small notebook, the Liberty was about
8 1/2 x 11 that runs well on Linux. Insurance would want

It's kind of hard to get a straight answer out of them on that issue.

If you've got these features implemented, it wouldn't take much to
turn it into something "general purpose" that:
Woke up
sniffed/characterized the network
Checked against a table to see if it was a known network.
If it's not a known network, it would send a message to a server
