Hi Felmon,

lspci: invalid option -'w'

However

No mention of anything wireless.

I've not had a chance to open up the machine to have a look at the card.  
However I have got all the bits aside ready to build a new machine, its 
just having the time to put it all together then this one can be 
re-purposed.

Thanks for your help.
