The way I usually tell if a machine is wireless is by feeling the sides of
the LCD Panel.  If there are little diagonal ridges on the monitor, kind of
where your fingers go when your thumb is unlatching the LCD, that typically
means it's wireless-ready.   Here's a happy little picture, although I'm
not sure how Lotus Notes will translate it to internet-speak....

At any rate, those little ridges should be there even if the mini-pci card
itself is not installed.  I think in some early models they were silk
screened instead of embedded in the plastic, but they should be there.
