    I have a TJ75 for repair/upgrade. It has an Atheros AB93 WiFi adapter that has died. It doesn't show up in device manager anymore. I was hoping to replace it with a Intel N-6230 adapter but that doesn't seem to work even with the latest 1.26 BIOS. The device is detected and the Bluetooth part seems to work but the WiFi part shows "cannot start (10)" in device manager. The adapter is detected and working in Linux Ubuntu 12.04, so why not in Windows?
    Is there a way to make this adapter work in Windows 7?
