Hi everywhere!

I need wireless connection in my laptop, but the pcmcia hardware ins't
working fine. I thought that I could use the Conceptronic USB wireless
adapter...

Here goes my question:

Is there any difference between an Adapter USB wirless and a Pcmcia
card wireless?? Except the connection, of course ;)
Will I be able to do exact the same with one or the other?

Thanks!!

The USB variety may use a few more% on your cpu load, else it will be
the same.

They should work pretty much the same unless your USB port is the older and
slower 1.1. If it's USB2.0, then you should be fine.
