I installed Mavericks to my HP Probook 4530s. But not supported my HP's WiFi adapter and i bought a Atheros AR5B125 and changed. Switched on a laptop and HP Bios shows me WiFi adapter not supported. "WLAN Module ID (702)". How i can use this adapter? Any Help?
 
1. Were did you read that the AR5B125 is supported in OSX?
2. Are you aware that your notebook has a whitelist and you have a really limited selection of cards (I don't have this notebook, but as far I remember only ar9285 is whitelisted and working under OSX after a patch, 4530s owners will correct me if I am wrong).

It seems that you can't:p.
There are no drivers for that card (or prove me wrong) so even if you are a great BIOS hacker, you need to be a great kext writer too for any hope.
On a more serious note, just read around this forum what card others with the same notebook use or if that is to much work wait for them to tell you...

Details... details... Yes, hackintosh is a task where you must pay attention to details!

@iprogrammer

Summary for you:
- AR5B125 is not supported (neither by the whitelist in 4530s, nor by OS X as far as drivers)
- For the ProBook 4530s, the best choice is an AR5B195 and it *must* be HP branded
