First thing to do: check if your laptop supports PCMCIA (only) or
CARDBUS also.
Most --but not all-- Wifi cards are Cardbus cards and will only
operate in a PC that supports Cardbus.
(Cardbus cards are commonly identified by a copper strip on the
outside, near the connector.)
If your PC does not support Cardbus, you will need to find a
(non-cardbus) Wifi PCcard.
Most, if not all, 3.3 v cardbus cards are keyed so that they can't be
plugged into a 5v PCMCIA slot.
