i would say if you have such device your inxi -Na
output would show something like this:
Network:
Device-2: Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG [Calexico2] Network Connection
driver: ipw2200 v: in-tree:ds pcie: gen: 1 speed: 2.5 GT/s
lanes: 1 bus-ID: 03:00.0 chip-ID: 8086:4220 class-ID:12f6
Network:
Device-2: Intel PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI Adapterr
driver: ipw2100 v: in-tree:ds pcie: gen: 1 speed: 2.5 GT/s
lanes: 1 bus-ID: 03:00.0 chip-ID: 8086:1043 class-ID: 2522
the interesting part is the driver if it is not ipw2100 or ipw2200 you will be fine.
