Network card for wired & wireless network?
I'm looking to connect a 2nd hand desktop PC to our network here. Some
of the time it may be connected to the wired network and sometimes wirelessly. Is there a single network card available which can support both, or am I going to need to install two cards into it? |

I would probably just install a wired network card ($6-10) and pick up a wireless access point ($30-45). Plug your AP into the wired network adapter whenever your wired connection is unavailable. |

If you have to have the ethernet wired anyway, why would you ever want to connect wirelessly from this non-mobile desktop system? If it's a matter of other devices connecting to it, I suggest getting an access point for these other devices. |

If you really want both wired and wireless connections, buy a $5 - $10 ethernet card and a wireless USB device. Not sure why you need to access two separate networks. |
