Could someone tell me what this is?

Hello THForum,

I found something on my netbook (packard bell dot s) and would like to know what it is?

https - that's a secure website. Those type links won't work for us.

First one looks like the WiFi card bay.

Not sure what is going on there. A WiFi card should look something like this.

You should be able to read the make/model of card even after it's installed.

The links should be fixed now

Also, a netbook already has a netbook card built in? Why would someone install a second one?

Is this a mpci-e slot?

Some netbooks can be made 3G-compatible (using a cell phone data plan) by adding a card. That card could use that particular slot, among other interfaces.
