booger_sniffer5000 Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 A little googling told me your laptop has an Atheros AR5007, which is known not to work with OS X. Therefore, you have to switch out your wireless card with something like a Broadcom 4311 that is HP branded or SPROM mod a regular Broadcom 4311.
