    Hi
    Stupidly enough I bought zv6000 without a wireless card, having in mind I will never need one. Yet, suddenly I do need it (what a surprize).
    Can anyone tell me if this wireless adaptor will work with the PCMCIA slot of my zv6000? Will it stick out too much?

    Thanks,
    V

    Yes, that wireless card will work in your laptop. What speeds is your router capable of, like A/G? Because with G and getting that card, youj want see the maximum performance.

    I bought the Belkin 125g router (i asked about it a week ago and bought it right away :). I thing buying a Belkin card would ensure compatibility but of course I do not intend using the laptop only with this router.
    Thanks

    It won't stick out too much. Around 2 centimeters is my guess. I have a wireless PCMCIA card in my older laptop and it barely sticks out - I always leave it in, even when I carry the laptop in a bag. It's very convenient. Much more convenient than USB dongles.
