Wireless network adapter

So, your PC Card will work with machine #1, but will not work with machine
2? Is that correct?

Machine #2 will work wired too?

This is likely a problem with the laptop. Do you have any other devices
that do work in the slot, because knowing it works on another machines, all
signs will point to hardware issues with the laptop.
