    You need a Cellular based wireless card to use your SIM card. It looks like that system has 2 x 3945 Intel wireless cards installed.

    Not really, if it did not have the WWAN module how would it receive signals?

    @VROB - check closer. You should be able to pick up a WWAN card for that system for like $30 USD.

    Not sure what carrier you use, but you should be able to pick up an unbranded one in your frequency to use.

    I would say dig a little deeper.
