The laptop "can" take Wifi AND has Bluetooth (for communication to mobile phone, headsets etc. at close range) - as far as I know we do not have bluetooth support under OS/2 - eCS yet. You will also be given a WiFi card (probably you'll have to install it yourself but the dealer may install it for you). - You'll need to check the GENMAC list to see if the 3945ABG is supported yet - I suspect not. If you can cancel this component and check that the laptop has a Mini-PCI slot, then buy a 2200BG Mini-PCI card off eBAY or elsewhere, that may be the best direction. Cheers/2 Ed.
