It sounds like you have wireless capabilities built into your laptop. Most if not all new laptops now a days do have it preinstalled, WITHOUT USING THE CARD SLOT.
Go to "Network Connections" in your control panel, if you see anything listed there it is related to your networking abilities. If you see "802.11g mini pc adaptor" or something similar just right click on it and select properties. You should be able to deduce if you have wireless networking installed by peaking around here. I can't tell you exactly what you will see, cause it depends.
Just don't change any settings if you are not sure what you are doing.

Lan express AS IEEE 802.11g mini pc adaptor is a wireless adapter so you don't need another wireless card.

it usally says that when that is the card installed or used to be installed. check and see if one is in it. card doors are usally on the right upper side of the laptop. open all the doors and see what's they have. if you haven't got one in it then yes you must have a wireless card to get wireless.
