I'd just go for the one above it it meets all your needs - it'll also
be the cheapest - on sale around these parts for $30 usually.
I have the wired version and it works fine.

Last question :)
Look at this link please. This is my laptop, it says it supports
Wireless 802.11 b/g so what to do now? I think it says that it supports b
and g. But you know I just want to
make a sure. I am going today to get one you told me.

Thanks again

Ozzie,
You need to think about wireless security, too. I suggest reading
several of the articles on my computer tips web site, in particular,
my article Wireless Security at
http://www.terryscomputertips.com/computers/wireless-security.php

You may also want to read my articles on networking, also.
