If the laptop didn't come with a wireless card fitted then it won't have the antenna's in the screen for the wireless. so basically it won't work (even if you find the correct drivers for the card)

Your best bet if you want wireless on that laptop is to get a PCMCIA wireless card (a USB one would work too, but PCMCIA cards tend to be more robust and have slightly better antennas in them)
