    Hey all. I have a HP DV 9000t (945 chipset). At the time I bought it (marchl) the Pre-N wireless was not available since the Intel chip was not on the market yet. Everything else was the latest and greatest and I figured I could upgrade to N later when the 4965agn was out.

    So I just bought a 4965AGN from a very nice chinese guy on Ebay and swapped it in and got a "wireless card not supported" message durning the BIOS boot process. This is prior to the NB even accessing the hard drive.

    Both cards are mini PCI-e cards and the install was smooth and trouble free. Swapping back to the 3645ABG restored by boot, but I would really like to get up and running with N.

    Does anybody know what is going on here?

    Thanks.

    You need to contact HP and ask them how to upgrade your wireless card. There could be drivers to update or even the bios. Best thing to have done is call them before buying the card.
