The ZoomAir ISA does work with the linux-wlan package because the ZoomAir ISA is a PMCIA card with an ISA adapter included.
I'm not an expert on the other cards....but if they're not 802.11 compliant, avoid them. Each of the non-802.11 implementations is vendor specific. I can't tell you how many times people have talked to me about being stuck with orphaned wireless products. With 802.11 compliant products, your investment is safe.

PS: If the guy from Great Britain notices this...check Nokia. Their cards will work with linux-wlan and were developed in Great Britain.
I run Linux full-time on my Portege (one of the ultra-thin ones). I've never been happier with a mobile machine. I also have a wireless LAN, so it makes it easy to walk around and stay connected. A Portege setup like mine can be had today for ~$1800-$1900 (Pentium 266, 96MB RAM, 4GB HD, 10.4 inch 800x600 display).
