Hi BJ.
Thanks for replying. I guess it doesn't have the wifi card. I'll get one
of those USB wireless cards.
Thanks again.

Amrit,
I wouldn't be certain that your A20 has wireless. The spec says under
wireless networking that it comes with infrared and is **wifi ready**
so unless you had it upgraded to wifi it may not be there. If there,
it could still be disabled in the BIOS settings.
You should be able to check for the physical presence of a wifi card;
usually there's a small panel on the underside of the laptop, secured
with one or two screws, that opens to show the mini PCI slot that it
goes in. On some laptops there's another panel to cover any additional
RAM slots, but those are under the keyboard on the A20.
You can recognise a wifi mini PCI card from the two wires that fix to
it, that are the antennae. Look for 'wifi mini PCI' on eBay and you'll
see pictures! There could also be a modem card in a slot under there.

Subject: [wdvltalk] OT - Wireless network guard missing
My old Toshiba Satellite A20 is supposed to have a Wireless card
inside. Actually it's hard-disk crashed and I got the hard-disk
replaced. In between I purchased a new HP laptop (Centrino Duo etc.)
that comes with WiFi and all; so I thought maybe I'll connect both
the laptops wirelessly. The installation CD of the old Toshiba has a
Wireless card driver, but it fails to install it. Even when I check
the Network Adaptors (Control Panel -> System -> Hardware Devices)
the wireless network card is not visible. Could there be a chance
that the card is there but I'm not able to see it? Even the PDF
manual says I should have it. There is even a switch that lets me
switch the wireless feature on/off :-). I'd really appreciate if
anybody has an idea and can share it with me.
