3.0 wireless PCI cards



I'm looking to set up an OBSD 3.0 machine as a wireless router. 
Unfortunately, I have been unable to find cards that work.

I bought a D-Link DWL-520, a Linksys WMP11 and a US Robotics "Wireless 
Access PCI Adapter Model No. 2415".

OBSD didn't recognize any of these cards on startup. Only the US 
Robotics card is a PCI bridge, the other two are all-in-one cards. I 
didn't necessarily expect them to work, as I had heard only about 
bridges on this list and in every other place I looked online. But 
apparently, Fry's has stopped selling ISA/PCI->PCMCIA bridges.

So I guess my question is twofold. One, is there anything I can do to 
get these PCI cards to be recognized by OBSD? If not, where can I find 
wireless cards that OBSD *will* like in the Bay Area? (Fry's doesn't 
sell Lucent/Orinoco/Agere cards or Cisco cards. And, like I said, they 
don't sell adapters either. Except the USR one. Which doesn't work.)

And yes, I have seen them online. But I'd really like to get this 
handled right away. And I don't want to have to deal with shipping if I 
need to return the item.

TIA!
