Wireless Connection for the laptop

[basketball]

hey everybody

ok..i have a question about a wireless connection from my laptop. My laptop is an IBM T20 and i need to connect to the UWaterloo's Wireless connection which is an IEEE 802.11g. First of all, do I have wireless in my laptop? (by default, don't know much about laptops..got this laptop frm one of my cousins) If I don't, what kind of wireless card do I need for the IBM T20?


Thx..if you guys/girls need any more information abt the laptop pls say so and i'll post it..

Thanks in advance

fire away everybody...

No built-in wireless since it's so old. You have 2 PC Card (PCMCIA) slots and 1 USB port. I suggest a PCMCIA adapter, but you can get a USB one as well.

There are two types, PCMCIA and CardBus. Get the CardBus Version (Actually, I doubt they make PCMCIA anymore)

Then there is Type 1 and Type II. Get a Type 1, again I doubt there is a Type II Wireless Card

So,

CardBus, Type 1
