That topic has been discussed a lot on the HPLX mailing list.
You may dig in the archives and search them for "WLAN",
"802.11" and similar keywords.

Conclusion of the discussions (as far as I know):
There are no cards which work in the 200LX, because they need
too much power. The PCMCIA port of the 200LX can provide a
maximum of 150mA at 12V.
Maybe there are now low-power cards (CF-sized?) which need less
power, but still there is the driver issue:
The only DOS 802.11b drivers I have seen are Orinoco Wavelan
drivers. I have them, can send them to you, but I have never
made them work with any Orinoco card.
