    I recently bought a Dell Inspiron 1520 and I was curious if it was compatible with the Sprint PX-500 Pantech wireless card. If not, could you give me any suggestions for wireless cards?

    Thanks for your response in advance and excuse my ignorance.

    It will not work. The 1520 comes with an ExpressCard slot, but the part you are asking about is a PCMCIA card.

    so the PCMCIA card will give me full wireless internet access?
