Wallstreet PC card WiFi

I'm trying to get a no-name WiFi card running in my Wallstreet G3. It isn't recognized and the CD which came with it has only Windows drivers. However, an icon shows up on the desktop, labeled Rtl8139. A web search found that's a Realtek chip [www.realtek.com.tw] and there are MacOS drivers there for OS9 and OSX. So far so good. Installed the drivers. Still doesn't recognize the card. This is under OS 9.2.2. Under OS 10.2.8, plugging the card in causes a kernel panic.

Now - the card doesn't appear in System Profiler (which I need to find out the card's manufacturer's ID). Further probing with Tattle Tale reveals that "PC Card Services" are not present, and PCMCIA is dimmed. The card powers up normally, ejects, etc. and the icon appears on the desktop. Any ideas what's going on? Is there a piece of the system missing, and if so where do I get it? The OS was freshly installed from a full 9.2.1 CD and updated via software update.

I don't have another PC Card to compare; the only other gadget I have with a PCMCIA slot is a Newton, and let's not go there right now. I know the right thing to do is get an Orinoco card, but the PC Card slots not showing up in Profile has me puzzled. The slots do show up in System Profile under OS X (empty, of course - plugging this card in crashes OS X). If somebody with a Wallstreet could look in System Profile (OS 9) and see if their PC Card slots show up, that would help.
