It doesn't say it is a CardBus card, it says it requires a CardBus slot. There is a difference... What they should have said is that it requires a 3.3volt PCMCIA slot. Most older notebooks/etc only support 5volt so the card won't work.

CardBus requires 3.3volt support, so they are safe by saying "requires a cardbus slot"
