I am looking to upgrade my usb ports from 1.1 to 2.0 on my notebook. The problem is that I have only one card slot. The slot is already OCCUPIED by a Wireless-B card for internet ACCESS. Is there anything that I can do to have both internet access and USB 2.0 ports at the same time?Get an external USB HUB which will plug into your one port and provide more ports to use, BUT you will lose some of your mobility.

Am I understanding this correctly?OH, I see. You only have 1.1 ports on the notebook. You will need to get a PCMCIA card which has USB 2 ports on it, something like this:

There are a LOT of cards available. I am not endorsing this one, per se.

This may conflict with a wireless card, if present, space wise, so geometry on the card ports is important.

All I do then is just swap the Wireless-B card with the USB card when I was 2.0 ports, right.? If so, will this have any effect on my internet connection, besides no internet when I have the card out, if I insert another card into the slot for a SHORT time?That's correcct, but if the geometry is correct you may be able to keep both in at the same time. Unfortunately you will not know for sure unitl you get the adapter.
