Compare the prices between an 802.11b wireless adapter known to work and a
power adapter.  A quick google seach turned up a US$6.99 power adapter for
the z50, but its located in the USA (

... the wireless adapters tend to go for quite a bit more, so... I
guess
my decision would rest on the what the difference in shipping costs would be
for getting a wireless card or getting a power adapter.
