Anyone know a wireless card to work with a Dell Inspiron 3100C?

Can anyone tell me an internal wireless card that will fit a Dell
Inspiron 3100C as I can't find one. Dell's website is no help at all
(we knew that thought didn't we!) so can anyone advise me what to get
an preferably where to get it. It needs to be slimline as the standard
cards do not fit the 3100C and none of the retailers I can find on or
offline identify a card that can do the job. It is to work with a BT
Wireless Router

Thanks

Neil

Is it a Dimension 3100c? There's no such thing as an Inspiron 3100c.

Are you you looking for a PCI wireless card? The box has 2 "low
profile" PCI slots and one PCIe X1 (PCI Express) slot. You're not
going to find anything for the PCI Express slot, but the "low profile"
PCI slots should work if you can find a card. These should fit:

What I don't know is whether they're shipped with a "low profile" PCI
bracket. Worst case, you do some sheet metal work on the bracket.

Have you considered using an external wireless card on your desktop?
Any of the common USB or ethernet bridge devices will work with your
BT router.

Why not a USB adapter? But, a Google search finds lots of PCI cards
which come with low profile brackets.
