So I built a system with a X99-A motherboard. I keep getting told that it has built in wireless WIFI. I bought the motherboard off of eBay, and didn't get anything except for the IO shield and the motherboard. I keep seeing that the X99-Deluxe comes with antennas for wireless WIFI, so I'm wondering if this is the same with the X99-A. I'm trying to set  up wireless WIFI right now, so I'm taking all the help I can get. Could anyone help me out?

It may still have the empty slot for the WiFi card hidden under the IO shield, but as the shield itself wont have the antenna ports it would need some DIY to do it that way.  Easier to get a PCIe card with it all included.
