So I got a laptop hardware question - GoFuckYourself.com

I purchased a new PMCIA USB card for my laptop.

I figured I have 2 slots for cards and I am only using one for my ethernet card. I can add the new one.

WRONG!

I can not fight both cards at the same time. And sadly I really need to. But the physical case will not fit them both.

Is there some sort of extender or thing I can use to make the card longer and bump into the other?

I presume your USB card has 4 ports, so thick at the user end.

With my dell, I inserted the wireless network card first in the bottom slot
Then, I inserted the USB card in the top slot, forcing a certain upright angle.

It works, at least with the Dell I have....

No it is just a simple two slot card.

A solution may be to use a USB to Ethernet adapter and use one of the new USB ports for such.
