Hello Nicola,
This should work ok. 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:

ExpressCards are a bit iffy though, especially on stage, I would use

Gaffa tape to tape it to your notebook.
Best,
Jeremy
