Integrated Wireless cards are practically installed on most new laptops.
What is a wireless card, and why do I need one?
It is a device that allows you to connect to the Internet through a radio base unit without the need of a cable and a plug. It uses technology that is referred to as IEEE 802.11b/g or WiFi. Wireless cards can either be built-in as an integrated device inside the laptop or as a removable PC card. Our Collaborative Projects Laboratory (or team lab) will allow you to connect to the Internet without plugging in your laptop and will allow you to make "peer to peer" (laptop to laptop) direct connections to your cohorts when working on projects. Also many business establishments are now offering free Internet access through WiFi connections.
