Default Laptop (and ADSL networking( question..... help, lol

Okay I am not really clued up on me PC and comp specs, but I have a PC down here connected to 512 ADSL.... Want to add a router to network my laptop I have upstairs (so I have net connection up there)

Now, my laptop is a bit pants (old, lol) but a mate of mine who does this networking thing for a living says I should be fine as I can plug the ADSL router into the PC via the PCI slot (I have 4 unused slots on the PC) and connect my latop to the router via the PCMCIA port. Now pretty sure I have 2 of these PCM ports on me old laptop.....

So could I also buy this?

As my laptop don't have a USB port And my smartmedia/multimedia card reader/writer (for digi cam cards, phone memory cards etc) runs off USB and I was thinking about this bluetooth dongle thing for easier data transfer from my phone which is also USB....

So could I have the USB hub plugged into one PCMCIA port and the ethernet card for b'band networking plugged into the other?????

Lol
