man cbb doesn't give you:

     The following PCI cardbus and pcmcia bridges are supported:

There's really no 'brand name' adapters, so you have to find out the
chipset they use.  Chances are excellent that it will be one of the
above chips.  If not, tell me how to buy one (or buy me one) and I'll
make it work.

The biggest problem you may hit is routing of interrupts.  Some older
machines, which tend to be popular for folks to turn into APs, tend to
not support the APIs necessary to make it happen.
