    Looks like the "54g(TM) Integ. Broadcom 802.11b/g WLAN & Bluetooth" is the one I am looking for, but can someone tell me the part number of this card, so that I can buy it individually?

    Basically I am looking for a Mini-PCI that integrated 802.11b/g wireless LAN, integrated Bluetooth, integrated 10/100 LAN and built-in modem.

    Thank you very much for your input.

    The Broadcom miniPCI cards in the zv5000 series are strictly WiFi. The Bluetooth radio is on a separate internal USB module. AFAIK that's par for the course. Ethernet and modems get integrated onto the mainboard.

    And for HP notebooks you'll need the official HP parts because they've locked out non-HP wireless miniPCI cards in the BIOS. They might still be listed on partsurfer.hp.com.
