    Ok, the offered cards are as follows.

    Intel® PRO/Wireless 3945 Mini Card (802.11 a/g, 54Mbps)
    Dell Wireless 1390 Mini Card (802.11b/g, 54Mbps)

    They are internal cards, but no bluetooth is offered, this is surprising because on most dell laptops, you can get a wifi/bluetooth combo. It is not that compact of a machine, so this makes me curious.
