How can I determine if my Latitude 3340 has Wi-Di?
I just bought a refurbished Latitude 3340 and the description said it had Wi-Di. I have looked at the devices and can not see it listed. I went to the Dell support page and entered the service tag and did not see the device listed. (In the windows device listing, is there a part number I should look for?)
Short of buying the receiving device for the TV and just trying it out, is there a way to be sure I've got the device before I buy the receiving device?
Thanks in advance for your advice.

Thanks Rick for your comments. The system has wi-fi, and I can link to my router to access the internet. However, I understand that Wi-Di is different.
This link suggests that this is more like hardware, an Intel product, rather than a driver, though I might be wrong. Check out

Thanks, IEEE488.
Exactly what I was looking for. I guess I need to be more clever in Google. I don't think I would have found that exactly in that I wasn't really sure what I was looking for: hardware, software, etc.
Again, thanks for your help.
