pcmcia usb 2 card?

I have a 5 yr old IBM - T23 as I recall

It has 2 USB 1 ports

My camera and new HP printer dont work properly and I have been told I might fix it if I tried usb 2 - so

I just bught a pcmcia usb 2 card and have this dilemna

the top slot has a wireless adapter

the usb card is dual height - ie it sticks up into the space of the card above

thus I can not place it below the sireless adapter

but

when I tried movig the adapter down to the lower slot

it doesnt seem to work - am about to do some trouble shooting

but I susp[ect that maybe its antenna is shaded by the card above

any suggestions?

Dick

Update:

the wireless does not work on the lower slot when the usb card is out!!

as a temporary work around I plugged an ethernet cable into the back and am wired to the network and have the hp printer plugged into the usb card and the wireless card sitting on my desk

the hp printer now seems to work great

a short attempt to get the wireless crd working in the lower slot fialed - and am setting it aside for the moment in the need to get work done

any further hints/ advice greatly appreciated

  • Does the wireless adapter work in the lower PCMCIA slot without the USB2 card plugged in?

  • I think you're screwed my friend.

    You're going to have to choose, wifi or usb 2.0.

    Or you could take a look at getting a usb wifi adapter. I got one on super sale from Compusa for $5.
