    Compaq Pavilion C502US laptop (Intel Core Duo, 945GM chipset). Came with Broadcom bg wifi card. I just got a used Intel 6235 bgn/Bluetooth card to upgrade it. I have installed modded bios with whitelist check removed, so it successfully boots up. But Windows 7 doesn't automatically recognize the card at all. I downloaded the driver from Intel, but when I run the installer nothing happens. Any suggestions?

    Okay, I found HP's own drivers for this card, which they must have used in some other notebook computers. I was able to get wifi going with those.
