@donm4599x unfortunately this machine is in an enterprise environment where security is must-have. I didn't think about a USB until you mentioned it, but it would be too easy to steal. A card can at least be locked inside the case.

Found this - hopefully it'll work.

Look on ebay and get a usb wireless. They are only a few dollars; I bought one a few weeks ago for 99 cents. It does take several weeks to arrive from china, but you can pay a little more and get one from a US seller. Most of them have a Realtek RTL8188EU chip , and window automatically loads the drivers. They work very well, so installing a card isn't neccesary.
