Where to buy WiFi card

I need a wifi card fior my Acer laptop. It has the slot in the side but no card, only a switch.
Is this easy to do in reality? - & where is the best place to buy the card please? Pref. mail order as I am in Portugal for a while right now.

I did look briefly at Crucial's site, but could not see anything, but I don't have much time as I am in a public library. Maddening as there is an open connection (ior about to be) for all to use in the town I am in.

Hope I am making some sense, as modern technology leaves me way behind. I am now told that 3G, which I was about to sign up for in the wilds here is now about to be superseded!

TIA (I will look in nxt week in case any brave soul wished to tackle my ignorance :-)

    MyMemory sell one for £11.99 = P&P but they are widely available so just search on Google for WiFi LAN 11g Adapter (PCMCIA Card)
    :doh: Blue text on this forum usually signifies hyperlinks, so click on them!..:wall:

    Ebuyer are good for these sort of things. Very competitively priced. Type in wireless PCMCAI in the search box, and it will bring up lots of choices.
