    what is the intel 82566DC gigabit network connection

    Stupid question.....

    What is the purpose of the intel 82566DC gigabit network connection.

    I'm just wondering if it is a wireless adapter??

    I hope not, because I have been using a d link wireless USB adapter. I hope I'm not using two of the same thing!!

    This is the hardwired network connection for use in a desktop pc. It is for use in connecting via a hardwire, (Cat5e, or better yet Cat6), connection to a router/modem for access to the Internet.

    Yes, to conect via wireless you still need to connect with the USB dongle.
