Hi,
Based on your post, you currently have a working Netgear WiFi Card installed in your laptop. What you want to do is remove it from the laptop and install the said card to your desktop.
For your desktop to be able to accept the NetGear WFi card which is a PCMCIA Cardbus device, you need to install either:
1. a USB Adapter for PCMCIA as shown
here; or
2. a CardBus/PCMCIA to PCI Adapter Card available
here.
Either one will work. Of course you need to install the necessary drivers for the NetGear MA701NA in your desktop which is available from the CD installer that came with the NetGear or online
here.
Considering the cost of the USB adapter or the PCMCIA to PCI card, you may want consider buying a
PCI
WiFi card or
USB
WiFi dongle.
Hope that this be of some help/idea. Pls post back how things turned out or should you need additional information.
Good luck and kind regards.
