This is a nice addition for the wireless network since this is actually a LAN card which you just plug in to the USB port and install the software. Its very small like a memory stick. You can easily fit it in the back of your computer and get this baby running. On the back of the package there are some ideas for you where you can use this adapter.

Inside the box there is some specifications and a cd with the drivers. On the right picture we can see the adapter and it really looks like a memory stick so be careful so you dont pull out the wrong one when you want to remove your memory stick LOL. There is only one problem with the USB adapter and that is that from time to time it looses the settings and disconnects the internet. This might just be a setting problem since otherwise it works great.

WLAN 11b PCMCIA Card:

The PCMCIA card was very well packed also. You need a empty PCMCIA slot on your laptop to get this gadget to work. Its very easy to install since its basiclly to plug in and run the cd with the software and drivers. Ofcourse you need to fix some settings also. The card is very little and almost dissapears into the PCMCIA slot so you dont have to worry that its in the way since it does not even have a antenna.

And finally the back of the PCMCIA card.
