There is a Linksys cf card that has 802.11g support and it works with
Linux. Agere provides drivers, but we had to work a little so that the
drivers would work with our notebooks. 
My brother started to adapt it to his gumstix, but isn't done
yet. Zaurus may be difficult because the drivers are for 2.6er kernels.

Our version can be found at

The driver is not very stable at loses connection once in a while.

No WPA support for the Linksys, but WEP works.
Doesn't the router support WPA and WEP at the same time? My Asus does.
Of course you would have to open WEP.

ps: I am ccing the mail to Alain, because I had difficulties with my
postings to TLUG last time.
