Hi! I need some help identifing this connector:

It is on an old laptop mainboard from a Toshiba Portage M100.
I know it carries an IDE bus and power for the drive.

Also, I have this connector on the mainboard for the WiFi card and I need to know which type of card to get.

The picture is of a 44-pin IDE connector for 2.5" laptop hard drives. As far as a wireless card goes, you would be looking for any Mini PCI (not Mini PCI-E) wireless card.

All the searches I have done for "44 pin mini IDE" have come up with pictures of smaller IDE plug with pins on the harddrive. This connector has a flat strip in the middle with sprung contacts that is obviously designed to fit into a socket with sprund contacts. (or am I missing somthing really stupid here?)

Isn't that technically PATA? Which is sata, but uses old ide hard drives with adapters? I am confused on this, I won't lie.
