I have a MSI FM2-A85XA-G43 Motherboard. It appears to provide
wireless networking. I did not know that when I bought it. Anyway,
my question is - does this mobo have that built in? Anyone know a
source of further info on this? The sites I looked at on Google
seemed not to make any mention of wireless. At least that I saw.

Thanks

How about looking at the mobo's specs at MSI?

You sure it isn't an optional feature, like a PCIe 1x card that comes
with the mobo as an *option*? From the pics of the backpanel:

I see no wifi connector. A search on this mobo's specs:

http://www.bing.com/search?q=MSI FM2-A85XA-G43 specifications

led me to:

http://www.msi.com/product/mb/FM2-A85XA-G43.html

has a better pic of the backpanel. There is no wifi connector. There
is a missing connector so maybe that's where the wifi connector goes
*if* the mobo is custom ordered to include one. Nothing in the specs
for that mobo mentions wifi.

So WHERE did you see wifi was included on this mobo? Why do you think
this mobo has a wifi feature?

Check the MSI web site, for drivers.

Do you see any for Wifi ?

Is there evidence in Device Manager ?

Does Linux lshw show it ?

Sorry about that. I pulled the tower, and lo, i had a USB adapter
plugged into a rear USB. Dumb again.
