   Just to be clear, there is no "wired Ethernet" in this desktop computer.   
      
   There is no WiFi card.   
   There is an Ethernet port and USB ports.   
      
   So the USB 802.11n dongle is in the USB port.   
   And a radio and antenna is connected to the Ethernet port.   
      
   The computer doesn't know that the Ethernet port isn't a wired connection   
   though, so, maybe that distinction that it's not "really" Ethernet, doesn't   
   matter.
