I use a PCMCIA slot on my laptop as well, and with the express version I would
imagine they're the same, just slide the card in and should be good to go.

That's a good idea. I did some quick research, and it looks like she does have
a mini-pci slot and probably an integrated antennae (it is a Dell Inspiron b120
and I know it has an unused LED indicator for wireless signal.) Do you know if
the antennae has to be connected directly to the card or is it automaticly used
just by putting the card in the slot? I will recommend that she go the mini-pci
route if I can't acquire a USB adaptor.
Thanks,

Does it have an internal slot available? Either express or mini-pci.
It might have an open slot with an internal antennae already there.

Do we have any USB wireless adaptors at the warehouse? I've been working on a
friend's laptop, and she wants to add wireless. I have a pcmcia wireless card,
but the laptop only has an ExpressCard slot. It can be 802.11b or g. She is
only using it for internet access, so speed doesn't really matter. Oh, she's
running WinXP, so driver support shouldn't be an issue.
Thanks,
