So, as my laptop (HP Pavilion zx5000) has finally bitten the dust, I have been given a fairly old laptop to tide me over until I buy a new one

Having increased the RAM, HDD, and put a stripped back XP on it, its running really nicely, so I don't think I'm going to bother with a new laptop anymore, as all I want to do is watch films, get torrents, look a pictures, play mp3s and use the internet, which as I'm sure everyone knows, doesn't require anywhere near a 'new' laptop.

So, the only problem with it is it doesn't have wireless, if I could get wireless on it, I'd be set, and wouldn't have to fork out on a new laptop.

About 5 years ago I had a laptop that had a wireless card that plugged into the side in order to allow for wireless internet, but I've no idea if this laptop would support one.

Its a Dell Latitude 110L

So, would anyone know if its possible to make this laptop wireless enabled, either through an external plug-in wireless card, or an internet card, and if so, could they suggest some cards and how I would go about installing one?
