There are apparently two cards one for wired and another for wireless. The wireless is a Broadcom BCM 4310 UART. The hardware poll says the device name is sit0 but when I type ifup sit0 it says there is no configuration file for sit0. I think he's going to have to bring it back after I've had some time to study it.
