How to cram a PCMCIA WiFi card into your iBook

Livejournal user tanais decided that he wanted to get his 700mhz iBook on his wireless network, but didn't want to pay sky-high prices for a discontinued 802.11b card. So, he took a $16 Orinoco Silver PCMCIA card, physically stripped it down to its bare essentials (so that it would fit underneath the iBook's keyboard), wrapped it in electrical tape (for insulation), crammed it into place and what do you know, it worked. Some great photos accompany his article. Well done!

Now for the disclaimer: Kids, don't try this at home.
