Amiga can use PC Card (16-bit) devices but not Cardbus (32-bit).

I'd like to try a wifi card too, but I don't know them very well...
Reading the Prism2 manual I found this:
[/SIZE][/FONT]    If a card's chipset is listed at the AVS site as Orinoco, Agere or Prism (except the SSF version) and its bus type is PCMCIA or PCI, it is likely to work. Note that a few otherwise-compatible PCMCIA cards are 3.3V-only and therefore incompatible with the A1200/A600. If the card is listed there but doesn't match these requirements, it will definitely not work.
...and found thins on AVS site:

Netgear  802.11g  WG 511  Cardbus  Prism GT
Teorically that Netgear WG511 works on A1200, do I say well?

There's no card that supports G that works on the A1200. Don't even know if there is any PC Card that supports G. If it exists it's rare.
