Your laptop also has a wired connection. Looking at the left side of the laptop, it's the 2nd port from the left, just to the right of the telephone modem connector (which you are not using). It also appears that your wireless is not really a card, but a USB adapter (bold above); the one from your husband's computer.
Your laptop may have a wireless minicard; Look on the bottom of the laptop and post the Service Tag. With that, we can tell exactly what's in there.
Does the laptop need to be wireless?
Did it used to be wired?
Can it be used wired, now?
