Can I use a laptop wireless card on a desktop? Is there an adaptor that can buy?

I am in the middle of the country and can not get DSL. So I bought the new Cingular G3 wireless card. I have a laptop but would love to run the wireless card off my new desktop and then set up wireless in my house so I can run numerous computers. Use the Desktop as my hub. I travel alot and if I take the wireless with me my wife will not be able to connect to the internet. Help is there an adaptor that I can buy to plug it into my desktop?

1. Yes. You can get a PCMCIA USB adapter so that the card plugs into the adapter and the adapter plugs into your usb port on the computer. Another option is there may be an adapter that you can put in just like a disk drive or the like.
2. Your best bet is to create a wireless network. Get yourself a WiFi router. Run an Ethernet cable(the cord that looks like a telephone plug) from your PC to your router and then leave your card in your laptop. Your desktop will be your host and you and your wife can surf the web at the same time and if you take your laptop she still has full access. For more details you can go to a site like Linksys.com.
