Adding wireless to a Fujitsu E-Series 4010

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

Hello

I have a friend with a Fujitsu E-Series 4010 notebook. He is wanting to
add wireless capability. This is not my area of expertise.

Wondering if someone can point me in the right direction for what to
look for
etc. assuming this notebook is suited to wireless.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks a lot for your quick reply. The notebook has Windows XP (Pro),
and he does not want a wireless network. I am sure that he will ask for
some help once he has the hardware and I will follow you advice.

Thanks again.
