I have a PCMCIA ethernet ADAPTER I use to connect to my LAN and the internet. I bought a WIRELESS adapter but it won't go in the port. When I looked at them close up, I noticed a small difference. (look at attached pic)will you please explain your pic? what view is it in?Thats what it looks like if you look straight at the side thats supposed to go into the port, the one with all the holes in it. Is it supposed to be like that? Or can I grind off the part thats not letting me stick it in there? If I do, will it fry the port?Im sorry, im not familier with wireless ethernet adaptors.
Where exactly are u trying to plug it into, inside ur case, or on the outside near the USB plugins?

In any case, each device can ONLY be fit into a specific plugin, u cannot grind anything off and expect it to work.It could be the difference in a Type1 and TYPE2 slot...they are not interchangeable i believe.

patio. 8-)modifying hardware is NEVER a good thing unless you are very educated in what you are doing.Well I decided to try it. Nothing got fried But when I try to install the drivers when its almost done a little window POPS up and says "ErrNo 22" I also tried to install it using the new hardware wizard but Windows says there are no drivers for this device on the CD. The little light just flashes on the card.I think "Err22" says it all... If they wanted you to PUT that card in that slot, it probably would have been easier. But I guess we'll find out
