Safe bet would be to get something like this: http://www.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=161398 Because afaik this one has a TI chipset. I use a cheap Sweex ExpressCard myself with a Via VT6315 chipset and that works fine: http://www.sweex.com/en/assortiment/connectivity/pc-cards/FW022/ ExpressCards are a bit iffy though, especially on stage, I would use Gaffa tape to tape it to your notebook.
