    I believe these slots only support proprietary cards (the ones that are supported) and regular MXM cards don't seem to work for the majority. If there are further ventures into this, I'd be interested to hear more.

    I'm guessing it's just how HP has a whitelist for the WiFi cards, allowing only HP cards to be used.

    But the nw9440 card should work in place of the 9420 card, or at least that's my guess.
