Testing Wireless Cards

So you want to test PCMCIA wireless cards for laptops? I imagine the process might look something like this:
- Get a laptop
- Install a bunch of drivers. These can be found under System > Administration > Restricted Drivers Manager
- Take a bunch of wireless cards and the laptop to the classroom (or somewhere that gets a wireless signal) and insert a wireless card.
- does it work with the GUI?
- open a terminal window and type "sudo iwconfig" to see chipset (usually under "Nickname")
