BigDonkey said:opty said:just ordered a 4530s probook which it comes with a ralink wireless card. found this card on ebay. it is for a compaq CQ62 laptop, since it is a Atheros 9285 i figure it should work.
will it work?

Probably not.
AR9285 for our laptop PN:593127-001 has different Subsystem ProductID than PN: 605560-005

just as you predicted it was a no go. this Bios lock is a big pain in the neck. thanks HP
everything pretty much installed and working nicely except the wireless/Bluetooth.
i am still waiting for you to report back on that 518434-001 card. seems like someone else already tried it and it's a no go as well.
so what to try next?
