The part where it says Dell™ Wireless 1370 802.11b/g Mini PCI Card" is your wireless card. so you are all set for wireless

The wireless card is separate mini-PCI card which is factory-fitted in this model. It looks like Dell's Marketing Department got a bit confused. It definitely has built-in wireless.
