As I don't have a laptop, I'm not sure, and had been wondering about that myself. > And, more importantly, which card should I buy then?

It depends as well, how much you can afford. I think the pcmcia ones are generally more expensive than the USB ones. > > Maybe I will do so.

It's obviously a very frustrating problem. Nigel.
