Wireless Adapter for old Dell laptop

[Andaho]

I need to buy a wireless adapter for an old dell inspiron 8100 laptop.

I think the inspiron 8100 supports 32-bit cardbus (please correct me if I'm wrong).

Is it going to be best to get a PCMCIA card or a usb adapter... I'm thinking in terms of how far the thing is going to stick out, all the USB ones I've seen stick out a couple inches, and look like they could easially get knocked... this is for a laptop that is going to be mobile around the house, so the less sticking out the better! But PCMCIA cards also all seem to stick out a lot...

Can someone recommend me either a USB or PCMCIA that doesn't stick out much? Or better still, are there any type III PCMCIA cards that don't stick out at all?

no suggestions?

didn't see this thread before or I would have replied sooner

Personally I would get a PCMCIA card. It try to avoud USB if at all possible, I've had a few bad experiences with flakey drivers etc.

I can't ecomend a particular card, the only one i've used was an old Linksys one.
