USB Wireless Internet?

my wireless port is apparently completely broken. I desperately want wireless internet on my laptop and cant really afford a new one unless i can find some kind of used one for 300 bucks or so. DOes there exist a USB wireless connector or something of that nature?

Yes. Here's one. There are all kinds out there besides the Belkin as well. I have no experience with USB wireless so I can't speak for it's performance but hey ... you didn't ask for performance reviews.

I spent about $20 on a wireless PCMCIA card. It doesn't stick out 2" like the USB one does (and is about half the price).
