I looked through the manual for this thing and it doesn't really tell me if I need to put it in an anti static bag or any special box with lead lining made of forged kryptonite, rr whether I can just throw it into the bag the laptop sits in. So anyone here (I know you do Eds) who has a PCMCIA wireless network card (or any other kind of card), do you put it in an anti static bag or just throw it in with the laptop in it's bag or what? I can't leave it in the laptop while in it's bag because it simply won't fit. Google wasn't much help either, all I got were results for PCMCIA mass storage devices :(

The only thing you need to stop is moisture. Other than that put it in whatever you like.

Muh, I just throw it in my laptop backpack, iv seen them treated far worst at work and somehow they survive. Iv had one STILL work after it was rolled over buy a computer chair....was quite amazing, so im guessing they are built to be durable. But moisture will prolly f*** it up ( like leaving it in a cup of water or in the rain :P
