Adding a wireless card to a Clevo

[suffocate]

Say ya buy one of those sagers, aienware, prostar, etc... and it doesnt come with the wireless built in card..

Can that be added or what?

[Techpusher]

Yes, you can add wireless card through a PCMCIA Slot. We have a lot of customers that rather to do this because of the internal wireless card is b standard and people want the new g wireless witch not available with the internal card.

Not sure I understand the question!

You buy a 'What' and it doesn't have a wireless card?

on the customize for many of the sights that sell a Clevo type Notebook, they have the wireless 802.11 a/b card as being optional.

Im making that shure that buying and adding one of some sort is possible... and wont void some warranty

Aha, a notebook!

Checkout the D-Link DWL 650+ AirPlus PCMCIA card, it's faster than 802.11b!

Yes, but PCMCIA cards stick out the side and many people don't want that, they want it integrated. Depending on the model and brand, many have the wireless built in without the card if you don't choose the option. With the case of the Sager 5670 and 8887, they all now come with the wireless antenna built in and you can add the internal MiniPCI card at a later time. Here's an example of the 8887 internal wireless under the keyboard:

Also, what some people have done is pull the wireless MiniPCI card out of the Linksys WRT54G and put it in their Sager/Clevo and shown HERE. This gives them the -g wireless internal.
