Did you read the article or just look at the pictures. The card will access any WiFi connection. The USB thingy is used to set it up. That makes sense when you think about it. Your camera has no facility to set the network connection, you do it with your computer using the USB adapter. Now I only had to read down to about the third picture to figure that out. I did not bother going farther as my digicam does not have a SD port so the thing would be useless to me.
