What was originally a "PCMCIA" (Mnemonic: People Can't Memorize
Computer Industry Acronyms") slot later evolved into a "PC-CARD" slot.
It's hard to believe that 802.11b, 11 mbps @ 2.4 GHz was ever called
"High Speed", and in fac most moder 2.4 GHz networks allow disabling of
slower bitrates to allow clients that are capable of 802.11g to run
closer to their 54 mbps capability...
I have several laptops, but the one that has this sot of slot is over
10 years old.

The mysterious slot can accept a wireless network card or a modem card,
if the laptop doesn't have one or the other, or possibly to substitute
for the original internal component if it has failed. Laptops were often
supplied with a plastic dummy card to keep the slot and internal
contacts clean.
Here's a photo of one -

Would you believe now works, 2 independent jack with cords did not but
the third did.I also installed from everything possible from right
clicking on the lan and getting the local area and installing all those
items, some of which I am sure or no longer really used.
Now I don't know if I have a wireless card in there though I set the
drivers and of course there is this slot on the side--not sure what it
is with a plastic thing the size of a credit card you can pop out--maybe
a pc slot?
