sigh.

Just got my ebay netbook pro. Much bigger and uglier than I imagined but that's my tastes at work.

The seller indicated it has both bluetooth and wifi g. I've looked all over and through the control panel and can't find either. There's a wireless wan applet that controls nothing (I think it's for an aircard) and a bluetooth stack applet that of course, doesn't find a BT radio.

I'm not missing anything, right? The NB pro doesn't come with either radio I mentioned.

You are correct. Or I've been hanging a PCMCIA card out of my NBPro for no good reason....

As far as I know, it has neither built in but supports various CF and PCMCIA cards for both radios. I think the seller has been less then honest about the product he's been selling and I'd take it up with him.

I agree it's not the prettiest device (they can't all be Sigmarions ), but it's a workhorse. Mine has gotten plenty of use.
