I want a N standard mini wireless card that will replace my existing wireless built in card and fit my Toshiba A105-4134, Can not find one. I have the N standard wireless modem connected and working with cable modem, I just want higher wireless speed. Any Geeks know where I can find one? Thanks for the help.

I would really like to replace the built in wireless card, but thanks for the link, I may go this way until standards are set. Appreciate the help.

I dont think you CAN replace the built in card as it is part of the motherboard on most laptops and even desktops these days so to replace it you would have to replace the motherboard.

Chiller2 is correct.

And I really did not want to open up the Toshiba, I do have a switch to kill the internal wireless off, so now when I get the card, if I am in a hot spot such as at home with N Router, I will turn off internal and use the slotted card. Thanks for your help.

Speaking of such things....The kid gave us a Toshiba laptop so the wife could put her legs up and still play her Pogo card games.
A reasonably new machine running XP.
Came with a Belkin adaptor. I went out and bought a standard Linksys wireless router, and set it up without any difficulty. The laptop would not connect. I suspected the Belkin adaptor, which was not only old and in the older "B" format, but it got very hot as well.
I bought a new D-link 802.11G adapter, and installed that. Haha! Connected to the network right away. Excellent signal strength.
Would not connect to the internet.

This resulted in over a week of back-and-forth on the Linksys and D-Link support boards, with numerous fixes suggested and none of them working.
Finally, I unistalled the router, deleted the software, and re-installed everything from scratch.
It worked.
Now, I have to clean all the junk out of the laptop and turn off the umpteen million services that XP runs to get enough memory to run her games....
