Does lspci tell you anything about PCMCIA cards?

Yes, for example;
03:00.0 Network controller: Intersil Corporation Intersil ISL3890 [Prism
GT/Prism Duette] (rev 01)
Subsystem: Netgear WG511 Wireless Adapter
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 80, IRQ 16

Which is my wireless PCMCIA card.

What system are you running?
On my Fedora-4 laptop, lspci only says

Even "lspci -v" doesn't give me any information about my PCMCIA card.

You didn't say which card you got, it would help if you were to tell
us which card and which chipset is on it. Do an lspci to get the
details.

One possibility: are there standard wireless networking drivers for
11g that would work with that card? How about 11b?

There may be native drivers (depends on the exact card and its chipset) and
there is always ndiswrapper which uses windows drivers.

If the card has Linux support chances are it's in a much more recent
kernel then what's in MDK 10.0 so you'll have to upgrade the kernel to the
current one. If there is no native Linux support your other option is to
use Ndiswrapper and use the XP driver. Mandrake includes Ndiswrapper in
the club version, but 10.0 is so old I don't know how well it's version of
Ndiswrapper will work. Get the current version here,
