wireless upgrade for laptops

I have just bought a laptop and am currently finding it hard to catch up to the new technology (I think i'm currently in 1998). I'm interested in making it internet wireless capable
My laptop has the following wireless /network capabilities: IEEE 802.2, IEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.3U.
But it seems that 802.11 a/b/g is one of the capabilities to have for wireless internet. Since i'm don't want to mess with the laptop hardware i'm thinking of buying a USB 802.11g thingy(?) for around £30-60 instead of the PCI or PCMCIA (whatever that is). Could someone please point me in the right direction or be kind enough to explain some of this jargon?
Thanks capt. M
