Re: QUICK WIRELESS HELP

Nah, no stupid questions, only stupid answers. XP

Well, off the top of my head I can say that I would severly doubt a wireless network card would be in a laptop that you would not be able to see with a quick glance. Namely, the antenna will need to be visible to be at all practical and all laptops I've seen use an expansion slot (usually on the sides, about twice as tall as a floppy but half the width. It's a port you can pop things in and out for quick mobility) for wireless connection.

If the computer recognises it as installed, it should be in the device manager. It's POSSIBLE that its in there and the drivers just werent installed at all/correctly, but very unlikely.

Again, you should be able to see a wireless card as it should have a small but visible antenna.

Though, I could be wrong, and the best solution is to ask the guy in person where the wireless card he has in it is.
