    i just bought and installed an intel 6300 card on my g73jh.
    i tried to install many driver versions, but im allways getting "the device cannot start (code 10)".

    a friend of mine told me that this card my coded for specific bios for lenovo.. is it possible? or am i missing something?

    Thanks

    Hmm, i'm not certain. I know there are versions of the card made specifically for Lenovo and that Leovo notebooks will only accept those cards. I have no idea if the reverse is true. Did you uninstall the drivers for your previous adapter prior to installing the 6300?

    Have you by chance bought a "engineering example, not for resale" card?
    Those sometimes have weird firmware or are otherwise locked up to certain hardware.

    Yeah I actually fear that this one might only work on Lenovo :(
    What you could try, have you turned on the Wifi with the softbutton or in the bios?
