I'm about to go wireless with my 600e and I'm looking around for a wireless PCMCIA card - can anyone recommend a card that fits well, or is easier to set up please?
I'm going wireless with the BT Home Hub system (Thompson st7g).

I've had good luck with my Netgear WG511, and I just got my father a Belkin 802.11g unit that seems to work pretty good as well.
Are you looking for one with a removable antenna, one that can be collapsed into the card, etc.?

Rob, thanks for the prompt reply.
I think a good fit and a removable antenna are my main objectives simply to protect the thing whilst it's being carried.

Well, the two I mentioned don't have removable antennas - they both just protrude from the slot. Probably not what you're looking for.
I'd say an easy way to find what you're looking for is to browse the various manufacturers' sites and see what models fit your "specs". Then you can go looking for reviews.

Thanks Rob, I've bought a Belkin G+Mimo card after reading your post - 20 quid from the local shiny sign emporium.
