Welcome to IWETHEY!

New This "issue" keeps coming up when I look at wireless
Everybody (including this find) seems to want a PCMCIA wireless adapter. How do I stick a PCMCIA card into my desktop?

Enquiring minds want to know...

New Just find the equivalent PCI card.
I have the same wireless chipsets in my laptop and my Myth-TV box, but the laptop is PCMCIA and the PC is PCI. Many manufacturers make two versions of each card.

New While many just make a PCI-PCMCIA adapter for their card :(

New ...at about twice the price
What I'd really like is a general-purpose PCI card that has a (or even two!) PCMCIA socket(s) on the back that I can plug PCMCIA cards into as I need them. That'd be the bomb!

New Like this?
[link|http://www.quatech.com/public/googpcdrive.htm|QuadTech] PCI/PCMCIA adapter. I'm sure there are similar devices from other sources.

No experience with them myself....
