    hi , i am willing to upgrade my WLAN card so my dv5 will support 802.11n.
    i was about to get an Intel 5100 card when i noticed that the 6th series is out already.

    so before i order a 6200 card , is there a chance that my dv5 wont support it?

    It won't support it. The BIOS has a whitelist of approved cards. If you install it, it simply won't boot.
