If your laptop has two pccard slots on top of =
eachother, you can fit a TypeIII card. A TypeIII card takes up both slots=
 though.

Xircom 'solved' the problem with the Realport2 cards, since i=
t will take both slots in height, but only a half slot in width, so you c=
an fit another Realport2 card, flipped upside-down, as well. Of course, y=
ou then limit yourself to only using another realport2 in the second slot=
. I'm not sure if there is a wlan realport2 card though. There is a bluet=
ooth card, but I haven't seen a wlan one.

The advantage of the realpor=
t cards are of course that you get a real RJ45 connector built into the c=
ard, so you don't have to use a fragile dongle or xjack..
