Yes, it can be very hard finding the relevant info regarding a card you're thinking of.

Your best bets are:
Searching this forum for known working models.
Type pcmcia into the search on Aminet - once downloaded the readme's that come with the drivers contain a fair list of what models actually work.

That way no frustration over WTF is the chip-set in this card..?

Then off to the likes of fleaBay & search by model (number) & make sure it IS the exact same card - some manufacturers changed chipsets during the life of their card.

I'd also recommend being patient & keeping an eye on a few candidates - cards can sell anywhere from a few pence to £50+ depending on popularity & how mad the bidding has gone.
(some of these cards are useful for 'naughty behavior' so command quite a premuim)
