Hey all

I got as prostar laptop (d400s) that could have been built in with
wifi, but was sold without it. While I like my 802.11b wifi card, it
does stick out and am afraid one of these days it will snap off. I was
looking inside my laptop but don't have a Mini PCI slot, instead
(based on checking the user manual) they have a USB connector spot on
the motherboard, then connect a cable from that to another end on the
card.
I contacted them and they refuse to sell me the stuff to connect
myself, but want me to ship it in, pay for them to install it, then
pay for the 802.11b only card on top of it (well over $100!!!!).
I looked on EBAY but all I keep finding are cards that connect
directly to a MiniPCI slot, which I don't have. Does anyone have a
clue what I can do? Any sources? How about a MiniPCI slot adapter with
cable connection to that onboard USB connector???

Thanks

Nero

Okay I did a ALOT more research into this and found out the connect is
called "mini-USB" instead of mini-PCI. Now I seen Sager as well as a
couple others have these for bluetooth as well. I just want to know if
anyone can directly me to where I can purchase a Wireless G mini-USB
module plus connecting cable??? Thanks!!
