no, the usb wireless option is a fine option.

Maybe I should be more specific here. I have a network card in my PC, but
it's not of the wireless variety. I want to buy a wireless network adapter
to plug into a USB port, because I have no free card slots, and I want to
keep the other network card in the PC.
From what I've read, this shouldn't pose a problem. Are these network
adapters inferior?
Thanks.
Lora
