If you don't mind carrying another small lump with a connecting cable,
get a D-Link DWL_G730AP. It is billed as "Wireless Pocket Router".
It will do several things, the simplest one is to connect to a
wireless network and convert it to wired ethernet. Sort of the
inverse of an Access Point. So if your laptop can handle wired
ethernet, this gadget gives it a wireless connection.
I bought one because it was cute and looked useful. Eventually Jim
Doyle showed me how to make it work in this simplest application.
