I was just given a HP Pavilion ze5170 and am not sure if I need a wireless adapter or not. It's a newer model and before I buy a PCMCIA adapter, I want to be sure that it didn't come with internal wireless, like other newer laptops. How can I tell?
 
maybe you could download Everest and see if it says it in there, or go into Device Manager, and see if it's in there.
 
It should be listed in device manager or My Network Places. Or, hehe, most are covered by their own little door. You could find a screw driver and simply pop off the cover and see if anything's in the miniPCI slot.
 
or you could run in the command prompt "ipconfig/all". it would be under the "Ethernet adapter Wireless Network Connection" heading.
