Hi there

I'm new to wi-fi technology and I'm purchasing a PACKARD BELL EASYNOTE E 6310 LAPTOP it's not wi-fi capable but it does has a PCMCIA slot, what I'm wondering is how do I go about upgrading the laptop so it is wi-fi capable i.e. I can walk into a place where there is a wi-fi hotspot and just connect to it, rather than having to have my own network at home with a wireless router.

Thanx in advance for any help/advice

And I apologise if I have posted in the wrong place.

ravenmorpheus,
If your Packard Bell has a PCMCIA slot, just carry the Cardbus card with you. When you get to a coffeshop wifi just plug in your card and you're surfing. I recommend you don't carry the computer around with the Cardbus card installed. If you bump the card against something hard it'll break the solder joint in the computer.

Best.....RFengr
