Given the circumstances the computer in question is most likely a laptop. How do you plug a wireless card into that one? Are there some USB wifi thingies that are guaranteed not to need another bit of driver, even if they're slow ones? I believe my laptop wifi needs another package installed, but some old wifi USB sticks don't - but I'm not totally sure in either case because I'd have always configure them with active network connection.
