You have to buy it from Virgin for £20 as they both have custom firmware.
Customer Services 150 option 2

Its the same price for a PCMIA Card if your laptop is not already wireless.

I was lucky to be included in the free wireless router trial for my PC and I did not get a USB adaptor.
Bought one off the internet and works fine. Seems only the router has custom firmware.

Surely any wireless adaptor that is of the correct speed type i.e. "g" or above would work :confused:

Yes Rob it should work and will work, however, if the VM wireless manger (pants) doesn't detect it VM support will wash their hands of helping with the setup.

If you know how to use windows wireless zero then go with a shop bought one, if not then buy one from VM and you'll be supported all the way.

@the end, check your device manager for wireless card.

Check the user manual and read the wireless or internet section. It should mention how to turn it on.
