How to Upgrade the Wireless Card in a Tosh M35X-S109

Archived from groups: comp.sys.laptops (More info?)

I bought this laptop on black Friday at BestBuy (yes, stood out in the
cold and everything) but would like to now purchase an INTERNAL
wireless card for it. Does anyone know which card will be compatible
and how to install it.

Lastly, I am in the market to find a case for this laptop as well and
ran across the thread below. I have asked 'TheTargusGuy' to help me
out in a private message I sent to him but no response yet. I have to
get an answer soon as I leave on a business trip on Friday and would
like to have my wireless card and laptop case by then.

My question regarding a case is which one will just snuggly fit my
laptop (I don't want some bulky case) and which is better a back pack
or a bag? I think the bag looks more professional but I have enough
stuff to lug around in the airport but . . .

Here is the link to the page with the cases I am looking at:

The Agere 11g card for Toshiba appears to be PA3300U-2MPC. Don't know if it
is compatible with that model.
