My WS manual says it's a PC card slot but the USB adapter I have in there is a Cardbus card, I think. Whatever. Anyway...assuming I reinstall the Airport software, do I need my Ethernet-related extensions, too? Will I then need any 3rd party software or will the Agere or Orinoco card work at a hot spot right out of the box? Just in case I want to use my WS in another room, will I be able to if I buy a[n Airport?] base station? The antenna issue has me a bit confused.
