    Hi all,

    I just (yesterday) bought a HP NC6000 on ebay... Looks like a great machine, and build quality is absolutely superb from what i can tell! One question only - i bought the version without wireless connection - can i install a miniPCI card with wireless myself? If so, where can i find these cards??

    Thanks in advance!

    If it has the antenna built into it you will most likely be able to add one in if you can find it. If not your best bet for range, reliability and work you should get a cisco 350 pc card.

    Thanks a lot... i found and ordered an internal miniPCI solution, that connects to an antenna built-in in the screen... cost me 90 pounds, but hopefully worth it!

    Also ordered a 3Com Wireless ADSL Router With Built In Modem And Free Wireless PC CARD 54mbps.. Any thoughts on this?
