FWIW, I gave up trying to find a way to use a wireless PCMCIA card with my 12in PB. Then it hit me...BlueTooth. I subscribed to Cingular's MediaNet EDGE (I'm with them for voice), bought a script bundle from Nova Media http://www.novamedia.de/index_e.html, paired the Mac to the Motorola 551, and presto...now surfing at 125KB using the phone as a wireless modem. Cingular has a month month special promotion $4.99 unlimited download, offer ends 4/1, thereafter unlimited $19.99. Coverage seems OK for eastern US. If I don't like I can unsubscribe and they prorate.

does that burn up your minutes? Or is that covered with the monthly Media package?

That is one way to do it.

No, doesn't use minutes.
