What do you need? A pcmcia or a pci card? I could help you out either way. Let me know before noon tomorrow.

If I could find out what o/s would be helpful to. Then I could bring the right drivers. Anyway I'm sure and can set you up!

All I know is I have a Dell 8100 desktop computer ...with an ethernet card now...running cable modem...but I guess there will be wireless at the hotel what kind ...I have no idea...

I run windows XP home ...no service packs...(those things are evil)...

i guess PCI slot would work...as long as I can acess the internet to run Musicmatch Jukebox On-demand service....

I bought a wireless USB adapter for an old desktop I have in my wife's sewing room for $30 last Christmas. Plugged it in, set the password, and off it went. Check out RS, maybe they're even cheaper now, assuming you have a USB port on the desktop...
