I finally found the documentation for the laptop and it says the mini-PCI card is for a wireless 802.11b card so maybe the modem and network card are builtin to the motherboard.  I know there is no wireless card in this model, and in fact the pdf shows a different set of LEDs on it then is on my laptop so I suppose that some models did come with builtin wireless and some didn't.

The problem is that I have to disassemble the laptop to get to the mini-PCI card connector to see what is in there.  I have tried taking out the keyboard on this thing before and it was a horrible job that I never fully accomplished.  I will try taking it apart later this week when I have a few hours to mess with it.  It may already have the antennae builtin.  I will let you know.  I appreciate the offer.

Mark, Have you tried starting at:

http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=HOME-LENOVO

using the actual Type-Model and then requesting the detailed specs? Depending on the model, there is quite a bit of detail available.  And,
then there is also the 'Parts Information' doc that actually shows
part/FRU numbers, etc.  Try starting with:

Maybe these two links will save you some time.
