Connections at the computer for
wireless networking connections
are simpler than wired ones just
because there are no wires to
connect.
Wireless connections are most
common in portable computers.
Increasingly, notebook
computers come with built-in
wireless networking. For
notebook computers that don't
have built-in networking, you
can plug a wireless networking
card into the computer's PC card
(PCMCIA) slot. (Wireless
networking is based on radio
technology, and in many add-on
cards the antenna protrudes
slightly from the PC card slot.)
Desktop PCs can have wireless
networking, too. A typical
arrangement is for an adapter in
a desktop PC to contain a PC
card slot, into which you plug the
same kind of wireless networking
card that you would use in a
notebook computer.
