    I'm setting up a wireless connection for some relatives, and I had a quick question. I bought a wireless PC Card for one of the laptops, but it doesn't fit in the slot. :( I understand this is because the card is Cardbus, and the slot supports PC Cards 1 to 3. My question is this: Is there an adapter for this? If not, are there any wireless G PC Cards that aren't cardbus? Thanks :D

    Are you sure that slot is design for PC Cards/Cardbus? And not a Expresscard slot? What notebook are using this card?

    I'm positive it's PC Card I/II/III because I have an ExpressCard in my own laptop :) The one I'm trying to do this on is a Thinkpad 560 (ancient) And it doesn't have a letter after it, but the IBM (lenovo) website only shows the 560X and 560Z. Anyone know why this is?

    You're welcome. Hopefully the card WILL work. :)
