Simple answer for anyone in a similar situation who /does/ want to
upgrade - get a Wi-Fi USB adapter! Amazon prices from $3 upwards.

a $3 wifi adapter would be utter junk.

there's also the inconvenience of having the wifi adapter sticking out
of the laptop all the time and needing to remove it when transporting
the laptop.

it's also quite likely that the win7 wifi drivers will work.

True. Throw some neto Linux dist into it and run it with Firefox,
OpenOffice.org and a mail client like Evolution:
