P4C800-E Delux Wi-Fi Module

About a year ago I bought a P3C800-E motherboard. The manual said that you
could plug a Wi-Fi Module into the motherboard when one was available!
I've checking with the Asus web sight and can't see that they produce such a
module yet. Am I looking in the wrong place or what?
Bob
Thanks

This one is both 802.11g/b , plugs into PCI, and is $25.

The one with the proprietary slot was 802.11b only, AFAIK.
The one you are looking for, is the "Wifi-b". This is the
manual download - see page 15 for a picture of the module.
At retail, you may find these have come and gone already:

PCI Slot 5 and the Wifi slot cannot both be used at the same
time, so it makes much more sense to buy a PCI card, which
opens up the possible choices to more than Asus cards.
