    I had a long "chat" with HP support yesterday about my NC6320 where I wanted to change my wireless card to 802.11n from "g". There is a driver which will do it but, and this is a big but, the bios won't recognize that card and gives the dreaded 104 error "unsupported wireless network card" and freezes. so do a chat with them (look on the support page of HP to get started) and they can tell you if an upgrade was available and will work. I think that if it wasn't originally available on the unit directly from HP, it won't work. Maybe you're lucky and just a BIOS upgrade will give you a working card.
