i have this aircard (i believe it is a full size pci card, not an express) and am looking for an adapter to make it work in a usb port...DR1300R had one previously so i know such a thing does exist but i can't seem to find one...your help would really be appreciated...thanks

Is that PCMCIA?

I found this, not vouching for the seller or anything, but it may be a starting point for a search.

USB to PCMCIA Adapter for 32 Bit Cardbus Wireless Modem Cards - PCM-CR-U1323G, $153.95

adapters cost more than a new air card.. my phone just plugs into my laptop and functions as an air card..

My Blackberry can plug in via USB and function as an Aircard...but I opted to get the Aircard built-in to my laptop... No need to plug anything in

You choose either Verizon or AT&T. I'm sure it could be upgraded. The electronics sit under the keyboard...

you could just do what I do, get an EVDO router and slap the card in it and wonder around your house on standard wireless did I mention they come with a DC adaptor so you can turn your ride into a hot spot too
