A: I have heard some people say they work OK when you have no card slot,--like Will above who has an iBook--but I would always look for an ethernet dongle (do they make them for laptops?) before a USB dongle. You are supposed to network through your ethernet port--not your USB port

Sorry couldn't let that just fly by...
There is in fact Ethernet wireless bridges which someone will be bound to point out. They may work but they aren't all that small and need a wall plug. Really great for the old Powerbook on the go ;-) Will S
