This adapter only support PCMCIA cards, so 16 bit only. Since the
Ubiquiti SRC (and all cards that do more than 802.11b), they are
cardbus, 32bit and it won't work.
You can use PCMCIA in Carbus slot but the reverse isn't true.

It seems to be the only product to be able to use Cardbus cards. I've
never found anything else to use Cardbus cards.

Best regards,
