The KDE desktop taskbar area has a wifi network icon on it, which 
says that there's no connection.  But, I don't have a wifi capability 
in this computer.  That's confusing to me, like maybe a driver got 
loaded but can't find any hardware to access.

nVidia, for the ASUS GeForce GT 520 card.

I'll see if I can figure out what the wifi kernel module, for the
card I don't have, might be, and see if blacklisting it helps.
