This info on this site is great...but I'm a little discouraged. I ran winrar on the bios file I downloaded from the HP site, and the big .fd is listed as /01xxx, so it looks like its RSA protected...which means any change changes the security algorithm and prevents me from using any non whitelisted card.
Then I went to the HP site, and looked up what they had for this box...and there isn't a single card that offers dual band wifi.
I cannot understand why my old HP vista box had a better card than this new one...
OH well...Thanks for being there, folks. If anyone has an idea or even an explanation, I learn from every post.

Here's what I know:
I have an HP dm4-2180 US. HP support takes me to http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softw...b-100515-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&os=4063&product=5169549&sw_lang= ...to download sp55454.exe [1/1, 4.55M] for BIOS.
Current Bios version is insyde f.14
Here's the id for the current card: PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0084&SUBSYS_13158086&REV_00
I guess I have to install the new intel 6230 wifi card with it running to get that info on the new card...Is that right?
Thanks. Thanks for being here.
