Is this a *really* old laptop?I thought even then that they still needed to appear somewhere in the system for the windows drivers to load up the code into them - and in these enlightened days you have the ndiswrapper which seems to enable the encapsulation of a windows driver into Linux...
So what's the story here? I guess you have a laptop that has a Wi-Fi sticker on the outside, but no Wi-Fi visible to Linux?
A small sample, I know, but all the laptops I've ever had with on-board Wi-Fi have all shown up with lspci...
