Hi guys, will either of these draft N cards work in an HP dv9225?
If so, will the BIOS be an issue?
Internal card 1
Internal card 2
I know the ads show for a Dell, but a quick check of my card appears to show that it has the same type connector.
I'd love to be able to dump my external N card & use only internal wireless N with my N router.

Specs require if a 11g network is present, it MUST play well with others.

What i've read is that the older mobo's aren't setup up for the 3 antennas of the new Draft N wireless cards. Is this true? Is there the same problem with PCMCIA Draft N cards?

Anyone know?
Better yet, here's a more direct question:
Are the cards used in an HP specific to only an HP, or can a Dell card be used in an HP? -

If the interface is the same, and the drivers are available from some other source, not Dell. YES.
HP use to be know for having a specific hardware. But I think they have moved away from that stance to save money. Someone else would have to confirm. -
That said, you may get the second card you listed to work, ButchN. It has two antenna connections, a white and a black, and if you have an Intel 3945abg card in your computer currently, it should work. I don't know if you'll get full 802.11n speeds, though. -
Here's my current card (I unplugged it for the picture) & I'm guessing the main is the "b/g" antenna & the aux is the "a" antenna?
Also, will it matter is the antenna wires are swapped?
I'm sorry for the questions, but I haven't found much info on internal & this is the best place to look for that info.

Well guys/gals I got my new draft N internal card today, the 1st one that I listed in my 1st post, & I'm sad to report that it will not work with an HP, not now anyway.
Upon boot I got this error message:
Internal wireless card not recognized
System halted
So I had to put back my original card & as I suspected may happen, it's gotta be a BIOS issue.
So, anyone with a Dell want an internal draft N card for $50 shipped?
Yeah I'm taking a loss, but a small one vs. losing out all together by keeping it.
