I am in the middle of the country and can not get DSL. So I bought the new Cingular G3 wireless card. I have a laptop but would love to run the wireless card off my new desktop and then set up wireless in my house so I can run numerous computers. Use the Desktop as my hub. I travel alot and if I take the wireless with me my wife will not be able to connect to the internet. Help is there an adaptor that I can buy to plug it into my desktop?

Your best bet is to create a wireless network. Get yourself a WiFi router.

Your desktop will be your host and you and your wife can surf the web at the same time and if you take your laptop she still has full access. For more details you can go to a site like Linksys.com.
