hi, 
thanks, that's the correct info!

I found out the machine has the BCM94313. apparently the hp p/n, the 57-- whatever, on the card is the same used on about 200 different components (not all networking). i wasn't expecting that. 

I'm not sure why the hp site product page/driver dl does not list the BC card/driver.. 

I just read the man page for bwn, I had missed the bit about firmware.. probably why i didn't have any luck when i loaded the module.
.. so I think i can get it running. will have to try later this evening, gotta run out the door.

BTW i found a message about a similar hp notebook, somebody has a field service manual and listed an atheros card as 'approved on the bios whitelist'.. i think it's a 9485 bt combo which i should have around here but i'm not sure if it's 1/2 height. there's no room in this new computer for a 'full size' mPCI-e card. ;-)


thanks!
