A bit more targeted is thus...

root at hpaq:~# lspci | egrep '(Network|Realtek)'
01:00.0 Network controller: Ralink corp. Device 539b
02:00.0 Unassigned class [ff00]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
RTS5229 PCI Express Card Reader (rev 01)
08:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
RTL8101E/RTL8102E PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller (rev 05)

That validates Lennart's speculation, yes, indeed, Ralink Wifi.
