    wireless cards usually don't have a separate opening.. you'll have to find a disassembly guide and take apart the case

    The two most common places I've seen to find the MiniPCI card slot are either under the keyboard (keyboard must be removed to access the MiniPCI slot in this case) or beneath an access panel on the bottom of a notebook (you'll need to loosen the screws on the access panel and lift it up or remporarily remove it).

    I don't know where the card is located on your notebook, but it's likely one of these two places.

    I don't know if it is the same as Toshiba Satellite A105. That would be very easy to change wireless card.

    Here is a link; on step 5.

    Oops.. I guess I'm 3 mins late :p
