from what i've seen, there hasn't been much sucess in getting wireless working. So, I've got a Linksys pci wireless card, im pretty sure it uses a form of a soldered in pcmcia card to work...atleast thats how people tell me how to configure it in linux...anyways, I tried that one walkthrough at nylonoxygen for pcmcia cards, but be doesnt see it, so im guessing im gonna have to do it some other way...I'm runnin PE with bone 7a....can anyone help me get my card working? Oh, what i'm trying to do is to get it to see my router so i can get on the net

No is the short answer.
Not yet is better.
Now, you can try to make a driver if you are so incline.
The problem is that the driver is for a pcmcia card. It is true that the chip is either exactly or almost the same. The way the driver access's the chip is much different. You would need to add the PCI discovery and usage to the pcmcia driver.
An other idea would be to use Be's sample driver and the linux sources to make a new pci driver.
The other idea involves waiting for Zeta. They have the sources and might make a driver for one or two of the common cards.

If you have a BeOS supported NIC, another idea would be to get an ethernet-to-wireless access point. This should work, at least in theory.

Of course Zeta might support it out of the box...
