    I'm a little confused. I'm not sure about Verizon and their wireless cards?

    So you need to plug in your Verizon wireless card in your notebook?

    Your dv6000t has a wireless card already, the Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection.
    Your notebook should also have a ExpressCard Slot. I dont know if the verizon card uses the expresscard slot. Can you give me a link or more information this Verizon card?

    Edit: Looking at Verizon's website, they have PCMCIA cards (the old type) and ExpressCards. Since your notebook is new it'll have an ExpressCard slot. So your verizon wireless card will work if you have the expresscard one.
    If you have a PCMCIA, then I believe you can buy an expresscard to PCMCIA adapter.
