    dell wireless 1397 802 11g half mind card to
    intel wifi link 5100 802 11 wireless N mind card

    Right click "My Computer", Properties, Device Manager under "Tasks" to the left, Expand "Network Adaptors" (click on the "+" or double click the text).
    That will show what wireless card you have.
