I want to get an aircard for my notebook. Can someone share your experience what good & bad? I'll use it mostly in Reno-Sparks.

I don't think clearwire offer aircard. I want to be able to use outside Reno-Sparks area too but mainly here.

Do you mean an aircard from like a cell phone provider?

I think Sprint is supposedly the best in the area. Cingulars EDGE is pretty meh, and I don't think Verizon has rolled out their EV-DO network yet (though I could be very wrong on that).

Looking at their website you're right. You have to plug their modem into a USB port...no PCMCIA Cards. Lame. They should work on that.
