There are a basically two solutions depending on how important keeping your warranty is!: The safe but possibly ineffective approach: http://www.poynting-europe.com/Commercial/products/ShortInfo/K-LPDA-21short.htm The surgical approach: http://en.wikinerds.org/index.php/Hacking_the_Huawei_E220 The most reliable way to do get wifi is probably to buy one of the PCMCIA modems and a wireless router with a PCMCIA slot. There are several of these on the market. I went the USB route because my laptop has type 2 slots and there aren't any 3G cards that fit it as far as I can see. I wanted something I could take away from the boat and use in hotels etc. Hope this helps a bit. Steve NB Bream
