Greetings, all. I have a n00b question for you, please don't laugh too hard: Since I'll be getting a wireless router soon, I need to know if my existing network card can handle wireless traffic, or will I have to buy a new one. The question is, how do I tell the difference? I mean, I assume it should say "WIRELESS" somewhere if it has wireless capability, but I'm not sure.
What I have now is a Realtek RTL8139 Family PCI Fast Ethernet NIC #4 I don't suppose that's a wireless card, is it?

No, it is not. See where it says "Ethernet"? That, for this purpose, spells non-wireless. You can find dirt-cheap wireless cards here: http://safecom.cn/code/
