From a hardware only perspective and disregarding software issues, there is no issue here.
You will need a wireless access point or wireless router, but that's all noted at linksys.com and dlink.com web sites so there is no need to duplicate that here.
As to the laptop, if it's the factory OS install, the pc-card slot will just work.

I have a Toshiba Satellite 4000cds/cdt series laptop
and would like to set it up to be wireless. It is running Windows 98 and has two pc slots. Will the wireless pc card adaptors on the market work on this computer?
Do I have to add anything else besides a wireless adaptor?
