Trouble with Wireless Card for Inspirion B130

Question

I have had the laptop for a while now and just now got a wireless card but when I try to put it in it doesn't go in all the way. I looked in the slot where the wireless card is suppose to go and there is a peice of plastic blocking the card to go in all the way. Anyone know what the heck to do? any help would be greatly appreciated. O ya I have a Linksys Wireless-G Card just to let you know. thanks

It sounds like you are trying to put a PCMCIA card into an Express Card slot.   The B130 only has the newer technology Express Card slot.  There is no PC card slot. Steve

There should be Express Card wireless products on the market soon.  In the meantime, you could use a USB wireless adapter. Steve

Then how would I do wireless? USB acess point perhaps? Never handle a laptop without a pc slot. Thanks
