Wireless PC card question

Wireless Router and PC Card Kit
How exactly does this wireless PC card connect to the PC? To me that looks like a network card for a laptop. If I purchased a router/PC card kit, is this all that would be needed to go wireless?

Yeah the Wireless Card in the combo is a PCMCUA Card for a Laptop.

You need a Wireless PCI or Wireless USB to connect to a regular PC.

There are very few combos offering of Router/PCI or Router/USB. You have to buy the components by them selves (the combos are not much cheaper to begin with).

Ok, that what I thought. Thanks for the reply.

I recently bought a Belkin Pre 802.11N wireless router with the PCMCIA card as a kit for $200.00 at COSTCO. It has 3 antennas (linksys, dlink, and others have come out with kits too). Called Belkin support from costco BEFORE I bought the kit to check on them. They answered my questions completely. I run WPA, something I could never get to work with a DLINK 802.11g router and PCMCIA card: their help desk never answers the phone. I get 108.0 MBPS consisdtently and I can go onto my metal screened in porch without losing he signal.

What router options does your belkin pre 802.11n router have, ie, static DHCP, Qos, etc? Also, what's the real world speeds of your router, let's say you transferred a 100mb files with the wireless, how long does it take?
