Want to go Wireless

Hi,
 
I have a inspiron 5160 with a mobile centrino processor. I use wired bradband internet and willing to go wireless.
 
I tried looking in the dell accesories section for WLAN adapters but ended up finding one which was compatible with inspiron 1200.
 
Can someon suggest whether it is compatible with inspiron 5160 as well?
 
Also, I need to get bluetooth enabled, does it come with the same adapter?
 
Thanks in advance!

if you have a centrino sticker you likely already have a wireless card...?

I'm not sure which (if any) cards have bluetooth built in.  I will say that any miniPCI wireless card should work with your system.

I bought an Intel Pro 2200BG off ebay for my 5100 -- i like it but it gets mixed reviews around here.
