-Laurent.

Then the question becomes; is there 2 slots for PCMCIA cards because he's already occupying one with his firewire card. There's also the question of his intended use for airport; how big is the WI-FI thing in Europe?(He lives in Sweden). Is he intending to network his home or is this for road use?


There are two slots. You'll need a skinny WiFi card like the Proxim SkyLine so it can fit under the FireWire card. I just did this with my WallStreet, SkyLine card and USB card. I got the SkyLine from:

It's about US $26.
