Hi,

I'm looking to add wifi to an old Ultra Mobile Tablet PC I have just
picked up. The obvious route is a PCMCIA card, but I'm trying to find a
card that does not stick out too far from the case. Can anyone
recommend such a card?

Many thanks,

Jamie

My Linksys WPC54G only sticks out about a half inch.

Had that sort of problem with my laptop (card stuck out and wouldn't let the
case close).. Got a USB device (dongles can go on short USB extension
cables), and velcroed the dongle to the back of the laptop lid. On mine, the
USB plug is in the back, so the case had room for it to stay in...

I have used a 3Com 3CRPAG175 X-JACK for more than a year. The antenna pops
in (manually!) when the laptop is packed away. That is the card is totally
flush with the PCMCIA slot unless the antenna is in use (extends about
3/4inch).
