My friend gave me a Compaq Presario 2500 laptop. It is a great computer but it has an external wireless card. I would like to install an internal wireless card and I was wondering what my options are. I am a pilot and hate the external card because it is just one more "part" that I have to make sure I have with me. I don't like constantly putting the card in just to remove it after shutdown. It makes using the laptop for a "quick" application a pain. Does anyone have any suggestions? Is this something I must have a professional do or can I do it myself, like adding RAM? Thanks in advance.

to my knowledge this isn't possible....laptops aren't "field servicable" like desktops...and adding parts like internal wireless cards....well that's just not doable

It depends if you have a spare PCI slot that meets the requirements of the card.
So yes you would be able to do it your self.

Ask at a place like Comp USA,Frys or Best Buy and they might be able to do it for you.
