It should be built-in... here I have on the Network section the Wifi + RJ45, and I can choose what I want.

Try to install a clean image and see if it works or not. If you use the v22... try the v21 as we found a bug on the v22 about Wifi.

ok see what your saying i use rj45 anyway but was testing for friends one of the many advantages on v22 is the skin i love it plus on previous versions mgc--- did not work but now it does i only removed all wifi drivers so i could gain flash space to install it!

i look forward to v23 keep the skin it looks really good and keep up the good work.

all your help appreciated.
