PCMCIA > USB adapter for wireless cards

Please note, I am NOT referring to your typical 802.11G/B PCMCIA access card, I am referring to the 3G broad band access cards from cell carriers.

I'm trying to search for options other than the one in the store: here

But I'm not having much luck.

here's why I need a USB adapter:
  • Where my computer is located, I have a limited amount of hight to work with and most PCI cards are too tall for the location
  • I'm not using a case, so I have nothing to secure a PCI card to
  • I WILL not be using a case as I don't have anywhere to put one
  • I have to be able to easily access this card so that I can remove it very quickly when entering and exiting the car. I use this card with my laptop as well
  • Networking with my laptop to share the wireless connection while in the car is not an option. I am not interested in hauling around my laptop every time I get in the car to go somewhere.

Does anyone know of any other options other than this one dongle?
