find the newest driver, this will work

I may not be understanding what you are stating, so bear with me;

1) The Wireless Modem antenna wires are up in the Display Assembly,

In otherwords they should already be there.

2) The 802.11 Mini PCI Card, is a Wireless Module.
It goes in the Mini PCI Compartment, under the Mini PCI Compartment Cover, located on the bottom of the laptop.

It's made by Broadcom,

(Gateway 6002672 part number)

See at the Top right where it states Main, and has a white Side Arrow?
This terminal is where the Black wire (Lead) of the wireless antenna connects to.

The other terminal, AUX, is where the White wire connects to.

Hello John,
It seems that: 1. Your LAN controller and the WiFi controller could be disabled in your BIOS setup.To re-enable them, if applicable,

• Press the F1(or F2 ) key repeatedly after restarting the computer to enter the BIOS setup.
• Navigate through your BIOS and locate the settings for LAN conroller and wireless, and select Enabled to enable them.

2. You may not have the appropriate drivers installed on your laptop for your network controllers. Upon further investigation, your laptop runs on the following network hardware:

• ActionTec IEEE 802.11b network card installed in Mini PCI expansion slot
• Broadcom BCM94306 IEEE802.11g network card installed in Mini PCI expansion slot
• Broadcom BCM94300 IEEE802.11a/g network card installed in Mini PCI expansion slot

Download and install your drivers for the hardware above from: Wireless Drivers(Broadcom BCM94306) from http://www.soft32.com/download_175098.html Broadcom BCM94306 10/100Mbps LAN drivers from http://www.broadcom.com/support/ethernet_nic/downloaddrivers.php
Hope this solution helps.Good day.
