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

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?

Hm interesting. Cardbus should be compatible to your PCMCIA slot. But looks like it isn't.
I found couple of PCMCIA wireless cards.
Just look for Interface: PCMCIA
