Default I'm looking for a PCI Card for my New Laptop

Who sells them and how much do they usually go for? Would best buy, fry's electronics, or radio shack have them for sale? And hey Will if your reading this what kind of new Hub would I need and what the hell does that look like? BTW I have a HP Pavillion ZE4100. Please help thanks.

It's a wireless card I'm looking so I can connect to the internet without having to use a wire. Do you guys know what I'm talking about?

How well does it work and are you selling it? And what kind of comp or laptop is yours for? And also how much did you get yours for?

How much is pricey man? And is it worth it do you think? And do I have to install this stuff? or should I have a shop do it, I'm trying to learn as much as I can on my laptop so I can work on it myself if I have to. Thanks for the info you guys.

i think you can get wireless 10/100 's for like 30 bucks. that should be plenty for SoHo (what youre doing). you should be able to install it yourself, and if you get stuck you can ask us here, or call their tech support line.

dont pay for them to install a card, its a credit card sized piece of metal that slides intot hte laptop without touching a screwdriver.

I think their is a slot for the pcmia card in my laptop. 30 bucks is pretty good, now if I were going to go 3com how much would that go for? Also fugi this was just a simple question.
