    Hi Guys,
    I just got a new HP dv4t laptop. I have a verizon PC 5750 aircard which easily fits into my previous laptop, IBM thinkpad. However the HP doesnt have a PC card slot (PCMCIA). I have the wireless G config on my HP laptop..perhaps I should've gone for the wireless N config. I am trying to find a work around for this prob. Is there a device out there which can convert my aircard into a USB outlet or RJ45 outlet? Thanks.

    The dv4t uses Expresscard, which is newer and better than PC Card, which is not interchangeable.

    You can look around on google and ebay possibly for a USB PC Card Reader(or Adapter) ;)
