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.
