it means you're hosed ... lspci ( and other hw drivers ) does NOT
recognize your wirless card ( pcmcia or pci card ... )
 	- usually a problem of the old mb not talking the new pci-2.x
	standards

plug that wireless card into a different ( newer ) system
and see if you get a different "ethernet controller"
