Type-iv Modem Wi-fi Ready?

[plank123]

I wish to take the Type-IV modem from BSNL. I wish to wirelessly connect my laptop. After visiting the below mentioned manufacturers website, and viewing the product info., I saw it was mentioned - "One PCMCIA slot for WLAN 802.11g NIC".

Now does that mean I need to buy a seperate PCMCIA card (or PCMCIA Antennae, etc.) for connecting my lappy, or is it fully wi-fi enabled.

And how many days did it take for you all to get the Dataone connection after application.

I would be grateful if my above queries are promptly answered. Thanx in advance. 🙂
