Most notebooks that come with wireless networking have wireless PCI cards 
internal in the notebook, not a PC card that slides into an external card 
slot.  I don't know if there is a place for an internal USB card in your 
notebook. Most only have one slot and that might have your wireless card 
already occupying that one slot.
