4965AGN Upgrade help on DV9000t

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.

Here is a link to walk you through bypassing the whitelist check that the bios does on booting. I have the same 4965agn card and did this with the new 2.5 bios on my DV9035nr and it works perfect.

Here is a link to a thread were this came from.

Good luck

 

Thanks Riptide that did the trick and it is nice and clean (some of the other solutions are a bit too complcated). I hooked up right now at 144 Mbps.....on only 2 antennas....Can't wait to see what 3 is like....

Thanks again.
