I thought so too. Tried that, can't find it (see below). I can't get to the manufacturer's web page for this particular model, so I can't see what the wifi model is supposed to be (I can see the web pages for the previous models in the same line, but they have different wifi devices in each sub-model, I think this laptop (a winbook) is a prototype system (my brother works for ECS/Microcenter) and they just never put the model into production :-). I had the impression (possibly from conversation with my brother) that the wifi is internal USB (how weird is that). But lsusb can't see it either, or I don't understand lsusb -v's output (likely, it's very verbose but with a whole bunch of numbers and no brand names in there :-).

Yeah, I'm working on that :-).
