look for the Compaq card, or another older PCMCIA card that doesn't use cardbus

Could i have the model # off the card?

not sure, but it's called the Compaq WL110. just google Compaq WL110 PC card. I can't guarantee it'll work, unfortunately. I think it will though. best of luck.

thanks. ill have to save up the money, but i will defenately try it out.

I don't know about drivers for all of these, but you could do extensive google research to find out more. This is a list of PCMCIA (non-cardbus) wireless cards to check out.
