Hi there:

I'm trying to resolve something with a WinXP laptop here. I would like to use wireless on this system. When I go into Control Panel>Network Connections, there is no option listed for "going wireless", just a dial up connection.
Well, it looks as though there's no wireless device installed on the system. If that's the case, I'm wondering if someone can confirm that for me from the settings in my setup window. Here's what it looks like:

*******Wireless Configuration*************
Onboard Bluetooth: Not Installed
MiniPCI Device: Wireless
MiniPCI Status: Enabled
Wireless Control: <Fn+F2>/Application
Wireless: On

So, is there really no wireless device on this computer? If so, is a wireless USB adapter all that I need to solve the problem?

Thanks ahead of time!
