I have no idea how hard it would be to use, but I got to think about the 
external 802.11b network card I bought for my pda, its a SD-card 
("sdio") wich is about 5 mm longer than a normal storage card. And since 
sd uses some kind of i2c bus? it might be simpler to interface than for 
example a pcmcia card.
I bought mine of ebay, heres one just like it

Just a thougth.
