It is for LAN connectivity, for example plugging in a device such as a DSL modem.

2. can this be used to connect to wi- fi networks.

No, you would need a wireless network adaptor, here is a nice link to an easy "how to" set up wifi". http://mobileoffice.about.com/od/findingusinghotspots/l/blwificonnectio.htm

for your question. The Xircom Credit Card Ethernet Adapter 11PS is a type of network interface card (NIC) that allows a computer to connect to a wired Ethernet network. It is typically used in laptops or other devices that do not have built-in Ethernet ports.

This card cannot be used to connect to Wi-Fi networks directly. However, it can be used in conjunction with a wireless router to connect to a Wi-Fi network. The card would connect to the router via the Ethernet port, and the router would then provide a Wi-Fi connection for the device.

I hope this helps clarify the purpose and usage of the Xircom Credit Card Ethernet Adapter 11PS. Please let me know if you have any further questions.
