It is my understanding from reading other messages on this forum, that unless you order the B-120 with an internal wireless card, it does not have the built in antenna, thus making it difficult to add an internal wireless card. Apparently Dell will sell you the internal antenna, but installation is difficult, involving nearly complete disassembly of the computer.
OK...that is more than I want to do with this computer. I thought that it would be a simple buy the wireless card and put it in type of situation. I guess I will have to talk to Dell about this.
The simplest alternative right now (because the Express Card wireless network cards are not yet available) is to get a USB wireless network adapter. A USB adapter will work on just about any computer.
