I have a dell c600 laptop.
It's a very popular laptop so I am sure some of you have it.
I simply love it, and don't want to upgrade yet, it's fast enough for everything I do on it. But I am tired of using a pcmca wireless card. It doesn't fit in my bag, so I have to take it out each time I go somewhere with the laptop.
So, I am going to add a mini-pci wireless card.
The problem is as far as I understand, I have a mini-pci card in there right now, that is running the modem/network. I've seen a lot of posts that talk about plugging in a mini-pci wireless but losing the modem/network.
So here is the question. I know the mini-pci interface is standard, so is there a mini-pci modem/network/wireless card out there, so that I could make everything work, because I used the regular network jack also at times when wireless is not available.
I am sure someone here knows the exact answer, or can point me in the right direction. Where would I get one of these cards? Most cards on ebay seem to be wireless only, without network capability.
And screw the modem, I just need wireless and network.
