Wireless Card
Orinoco PCMCIA Wireless Card. Allows your computer to access WI-FI. Plugs into PCMCIA Port, which is available on most laptops. The intent of the wireless card is to allow your machine to access the University's wireless system. It will work on other WI-FI systems too, like in a hotel or airport, but a charge may be required to access those systems.
