I am a bit confused and hope that some of the regulars can help me out on this one. I have a notebook that I'd like to get wireless internet access from. My school has a computer lab that has T1 speeds and lots of loose (active) cat5 cables that you can normally sit down and plug into your NIC. I think that with the right kind of equipment it would be possible to just stick in the LAN and have it transmit. Am I right?
Secondly it seems that most of this type of technology requires that you put in some sort of PCI card into a desktop to get transmission. I'm not sure if they'll let me do that but if you can offer some solution or brands that don't need this to function I'd be most appreciative. Thanks!

not sure if i understand the question but...
You can get wireless internet either from a cellular modem in your notebook or you can buy the necessary cables to connect it to a cell phone (if the cell phone supports this).

he basically wants a wireless home network type setup that can transmit everywhere. I dont think you can get too far from the transmiter.
