That will work ... it's PCMCIA so it's not completely internal though. Your college most likely only uses B as well. For reference, you can get a plain B card for around $10
...the XPS (click on my sig) has an internal mini-PCI slot on the bottom of the unit (towards the front, middle of the notebook). The Dell Truemobile mini-PCI wireless cards and the Intel mini-PCI wireless cards install here. See the Dell Accessories page for details. I have the Dell TM 1450 (802.11a/b/g) card in my XPS.
Using an internal mini-PCI wireless card frees up the PCMCIA slot for other uses.
okay i think i know where that internal port cover is, but jsut o be sure, is it the one right next to the HDD on the underside, and also it has a vent on one side right?
could u plese post a link maybe to where i can buy the card?

any pcmcia wireless B card should work ... (or wireless G or A if your college supports those standards)
if you want to pay more, you could probably also get a MPCI card from dell
