Hi,

 

I just wanted to let everyone know that I've got wifi working with my internaal card on my HP laptop. Originally it had a Intel 3495 card witch offcourse didn't work. I've got acces to about every hp and apple part I want. I tried a broadcom card with offcourse didn't work in my laptop and gave me the not supported card error. then I stumbled on a tread here where a method was described to alter the bios to skip the check. Curious if it would work on my laptop I tried it out and after fidling with it for some time taadaaaaa It works !!! I had to install a broadcom card in it but that was worth it for me cause I absolutly dreaded the sight of a links wusb54gc on the side of my beautiful laptop.

 

Basically I've had to disamble the bios, alter a little HEX code, reassemble it, Flash it (While praying nothing would go wrong or my 1699 euro laptop was paper weight) It didn't and I'm enjoying build in wifi with the performance of a t7200 proc. You can find the tread with detailed explenations @ http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...4&hl=dv6000

 

If anyone in belgium want's to get their hands on a card like this just let me know via pm or search zie net for it. I used a broadcom out of a DV6118EU I've had sitting arround.
