Hi,
If you are sure there are no errors in the Device Manager and you do not see a wireless card under Network Adapters in the device manager, then chance are you have no wireless cards installed.
From the info I can find for this model it should have come with an - Intel® PRO/Wireless 3945ABG network connection:

or
Intel® PRO/Wireless 2915ABG network connection 802.11a/b/g

This is why the model # would be helpful
Your card may have been removed or was never installed as these were Optional.
An Intel® PRO/Wireless 3945ABG network connection is fairly inexpensive:

But again these are optional, so you may not have the antennae
The other option you have (and you will not have to dismantle the laptop) is a PCMCIA card:

A google search for a PCMCIA wireless card will produce more results.
Hope this helps.
