The following may be of interest.

I recently ordered the following from SVP communications.

This works well and gets a better signal than both my dlink and Actiontec cards.

Used on a Toshiba running Windows xP.
1 x Sweex Wireless LAN PCMCIA Card 140 Nitro XM / PCMCIA Card [4148] £12.76

------------------------------------
Delivery:  £4.99
Subtotal:  £17.75
VAT:       £3.11

TOTAL:     £20.86

As you can see £20 including delivery.

Hope this is of some help.

Thanks, George. That price sounds quite reasonable - I would not want to spend a large
amount on a card for a laptop which will probably have to be replaced in the not too distant
future.


Regarding your enquiry about a precise model, I copied the following from Billarch Adviser -

TOSHIBA Satellite Pro A10 PSA15E-01PFQ-EN

but I am not sure that tells us anything.

Hi Douglas,

Looking at the specs, I don't believe there is any inbuilt
wireless capability, so you would need to buy a wireless
card.  Thankfully these have come down in price, well below
£50.

George.
