HP ProBook 430 G1 advice

The BCM you link is faster (I think it has 5Ghz) where the AR5B195 (ar9285) does not.

Also, the AR5BHB92 (ar9280), is a good choice as it has 5Ghz as well... No BT, but it is what I use.

Last question (I hope). If I install Mavericks while I still have my actual wifi card, of course it won't work. But then I can simply replace the wifi card and it will works, or I'll have to do a new install or use HP ProBook installer again?

Just swap the card later... it works... You will, of course, have to visit SysPrefs->Network to add the new hardware.

Ok I'm trying to download Mavericks from AppStore. The fact is that I have another hackintosh with Mountain Lion on it but I'm afraid that if I download Mavericks from it, it will automatically upgrade to it and probably won't work anymore. Any way to download Mavericks from the AppStore, without automatically start the upgrade?

It will not automatically upgrade.

It is driven from smbios. Change to a newer smbios depending on your hardware...

That's a bit strange though, since the requirements for Mavs are the same as ML.

Well I didn't download Mountain Lion from AppStore last time. And you can see my hardware on the left. So the only way to change this is to change the hardware of my hackintosh?

You just need to change your SMBIOS. I have Sandy/6-series desktop and run it as MacMini5,x.

I got it from a friend who has a real MacBook Pro and how do I change the SMBIOS?
