    Junglew,
    According to the configurator you have wifi installed. I haven't looked for the card in my only CF-29 but someone here will tell you where to look. It might be gone, but the antennas and such should be there making the fix easy. I assume given your NASA conversion that you have looked in the bios etc.

    If you take the bottom cover off, the mini-pci slot sits on top of the motherboard towards the rear of the computer opposite the media bay. It should be fairly obvious if you have a card installed; and if it's not then the seller might have removed it. If they did, hopefully they left you the wiring for the antennas (which are located on the top of the LCD; two black rubber pieces on either side of the latch).
