Has anyone had any success getting a USB Wireless adapter to work? I'm considering buying one for my HP laptop because the reception would stink if I bought the Mini-PCI card that HP can provide.
I have a Syntax USB-400 that I bough new for less than $10. It has a Prism chipset, so it works great. No ndiswrapper needed.
But why not use a CardBus NIC instead? It would be a bit more convenient than a USB NIC.

Well cover me with pollen and stick me in a bee's nest. To tell you the truth Miark, I was under the impression that this laptop didn't have a Cardbus slot until a few minutes ago.
There was a weird-looking slot on the side that didn't resemble a Cardbus slot, but I had a look inside and it has a single internal CardBus connector.
Instead of the usual two slots (one on top of the other), it has a pair of flaps (one swings up and another one swings down when you insert a card - or a finger for that matter), and the opening is double-height, but it only has the one set of connectors inside.
I was convinced that it was some type of Flash card slot, but it seems that it's CardBus alright. Serves me right for not looking farther.
I'll repost to get some recommendations on a good CardBus unit.
