I think I have found a link to the manual for your motherboard. It is specifically for the model "m2n-vm/s" and it is made by Pegatron, which might explain why that specific model did not show up on the ASUS site. ftp://ftp.olidata.com/HW/Manuali_Prodotti/manuale-eng.M2N-VM-S.pdf

To answer one of your previous questions, your motherboard supports 2GB sticks of DDR2 RAM at speeds up to 800MHz, and can have a maximum of 8GB (2GBx4 DIMM slots) RAM. As for Windows 7, check this page http://www.asus.com/us/Static_WebPage/OS_Compatibility/
You have an AM2 socket, so it appears that your MoBo is compatible with Windows 7.

This is the link that I got from searching for your model number http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M2NVM_DVI/

It does have a pci slot that will fit the TP-Link TL-WN781ND 150Mbps Wireless PCI Express Adapter

TP-Link also makes a USB wifi adapter for about $20 that works really well also. It comes with an extension USB cord so you can position your antenna for the best reception. I've used it a good deal and it works quite well. Link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833704045

The downside of course is that it will stick out of your box whereas the pci card will fit neatly inside.

It's M2N-VM/S. I guess that ASUS used it for assambled systems and didn't sell it separately. I can't find specifications or drivers for the board so I can't help you much.
I suggest saving money for a new system and not trying to upgrade the old one.
It does have 2 PCI slots, to answer one of the questions.
Any Wireless PCI (not PCIe) card would work. Look for one that supports Vista / XP.

If you google "m2n-vm/s pegatron manual" it is the first link. The link from the google results is different from the link that appears in my browser's address bar once I click on it, so maybe that accounts for the bad link.

Here's another shot at posting the link: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CDAQFjAA&url=ftp%3A%2F%2Fftp.website%3A05yY1585%40ftp.olidata.com%2FHW%2FManuali_Prodotti%2Fmanuale-eng.M2N-VM-S.pdf&ei=I-qtUeyTLIe88wSqhICgBA&usg=AFQjCNGQ8d4LHTlPLPOB8FOL0fEyzTtSKA&sig2=fyIPp7_zr3FNf47134VWyQ&bvm=bv.47244034,d.eWU&cad=rja
