Okay. So I have a laptop, and a high-speed internet cable.
But I dont have a plug-in for the cable on my laptop, I do have a network card though.
So I have a thing that I plug the cable into a female end, and the male end is a skinny little thing that fits into the slot on my network card. What the fuck do you call this?
Mine is broken, I took it to Best Buy and had some kid tell me..."Uh, I've never seen one of those before". After I explained what it did he said "I think its a filter, but we dont have them"
So I'm trying to find one. Anyone know what it is?

BTW, this is not what I need apparently.
the slots on my LAN card are tiny, not usb sized. I could probably use a USB one though, since I have those slots too.

It's called a dongle. They're different for every network card, you'll probably have to hit up eBay or the manufacturer's website for a new one. PCMCIA network cards are so cheap these days I might just replace the whole thing.
