yup that plastic piece is for dust protection and shipping saftey. Buy a linksys card and take that plastic card out and slide the new card from the store in. you should pickup wireless with no problems. you do need a wireless router. i think linksys has a package deal comes with router and card. works well together.
You need to have a wireless network in order to connect to a wireless network. If all you have right now is a dsl modem, you will need to get a wireless router and connect that to the modem so that the internet can be broadcast through your home over the wireless network.
