how does a802.11b/g CardBus Wireless Adapter work on a notebook?
The first answer is not an answer, BlueTooth is not 802.11B/G
1. your card will work with most wireless routers and access points found in the local lbrary/coffeehouse/home. The "B" standard is old but still in use. THE "G" is the current standard and operates at approximately 2.4 Giga Herz(frequency). Acard with that label will do both.
2. Laptop/Notebook computers generally have this feature built in but can use a PMCIA Card with this label.
3. Built-in cards will invariably have a wireless connection icon displayed down in the corner with your clock(Win XP). Placing your mouse arrow over this icon will give you a quick status of the connection. RH or LH clicking on that icon will grant your many options. The key option is "Scan for available networks"
4. When the scan is complete you should have a small page with a list of "Found" networks which you select from and then connect to.
No Icon displayed- can happen- Start/Control Panel/ Network Connections- Look for your wireless Icon and RH click on it You will recieve several options, If the first is enable click on it to activate the card. WIN XP generally will heal the connection right then and there(Assuming a network is available)
No Wirless Icon on Network Connections- Can happen- Start/Control Panel/System/Hardware Tab/Device Manager Button- Look for the card under "Network Adaptors" by clicking the plus sign to the left of Network Adaptors- Any red or yellow special charactors associated with your card indicate time to visit a repair facility- Same recommendation if no wireless card is listed and you are certain that you have one.
You question was not clear so I have given you a quick primer on "how it works for you"
There are encryption levels, your neighbors may have visible networks and freeloading off theirs is against the law. WIKIPEDIA would be a fair source and google 802.11B/G will get you lots of specific info
