Hi,
I've got an Acer 2424NWXC laptop.Which came without wifi.
I want to know if i can add a wireless Mini Wireless PCI card in the slot that is on the bottom.
Will it work?

yes it will work provided u have a mini PCI slot vacant.

otherwise u can use a PCMCIA card.. this will be cheaper and u can remove it to better battery life. wifi uses a lot of power.
