I know there is no wireless card in this model, and in fact the pdf shows a different set of LEDs on it then is on my laptop so I suppose that some models did come with builtin wireless and some didn't. The problem is that I have to disassemble the laptop to get to the mini-PCI card connector to see what is in there. I have tried taking out the keyboard on this thing before and it was a horrible job that I never fully accomplished. I will try taking it apart later this week when I have a few hours to mess with it. It may already have the antennae builtin. I will let you know. I appreciate the offer.
