I was wondering how I could fit my Dell C810 with 2 ethernet pcmcia cards? By the looks of it, I don't think I can fit another card. Is there some sort of extender I can use? I don't really want to use USB, but I suppose a wireless card would fit?

Thanks for any help!

Buy two older 10/100 PCMCIA cards that use dongles instead of a built-in RJ-45 port. I haven't checked, but I'm pretty sure they're readily available on eBay or at computer shows or mom-and-pop hardware stores.

Why do you need 2 Ethernet cards? Doesn't yours have a built-in adapter?

Some of the C810s came with a wireless card in place of the network/modem card. I don't think there are any with neither, though.

Even so, why do you need 2 Ethernet cards?
