How to check WI-FI version on laptops?

[123456programmer]

Hello,
I'm thinking about installing a wireless connection at home.
Unfortunately I don't know what kind of wireless LAN my Laptop has. 802.11 a or b or g ?
I don't have anything which indicates what type of wireless LAN this computer has.
Is there anyway to check from the OS (winxp pro) what Wireless LAN i have?
thanks in advance.

If it a built in card go to the manufacturer and check the hardware specs.

so that's the only way huh?
anyways thanks mate.

Someone else may have a way but I don't thing there is anything in XP that will tell you. You might try looking at the properties of the lan card in network properties.
