Not enough room to use second PC Card slot?

    I have a wireless network card in the top slot of my laptop. I want to put a usb2 card in the second slot, but as you can see from the picture, there is a bump on the top (as there is on my existing wireless card). which would make it difficult if not impossible to fit.

    Most laptops seem to have PC card slots that are directly adjacent to each other and most cards I see seem to have this 'extra frontage' on them. Is there anything I can do?

    Thanks,
    Merlin

    The only thing I can think of is to get rid of the wireless card and get a USB wireless adapter. This will free up the PCMCIA slot for the USB2 card.

    I think you're right Tom. I think I'll just put up with USB1 until I have another reason to upgrade and then get a new laptop altogether. I've been dying for an excuse anyway and I've upgraded everything as far as the laptop can handle.
