    So I bought a new DV6tse with the regular Wifi option, only to realize it does not support 5Ghz N. Does anyone know what Wifi card is in the Wifi + Bluetooth option for Dv6's? Is it also Intel 1000?

    I understand the BIOS prevents us from adding our own Wifi cards. Any more development on hacking the BIOS?

    I currently have 2.4Ghz G and 5.Ghz N bands running, and would hate to have to redo my network. But it's either that, get a dual band USB dongle, or return the DV6.
