Card that works on HP Pavilion DV4
- Inicie sesión o regístrese para enviar comentarios
This Mini PCI Express Card works well with Trisquel 6.0
02:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x /
AR542x Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) [168c:001c] (rev 01)
Hewlett-Packard Company Device [103c:137b]
I would like to buy a similar card because I am sure it well work. Some
cards that work on otther machines have a problem with being recognized
by the laptop. So this is the correct choice. Does anybody know where I
can purchase such card? I do not want a USB device because it is external.

Thank you very much, Jason. :-) What did you look for in order to know
it was the same chipset?

You mentioned your current WiFi card was AR242x. So's this one. If
you'll noticed, under Supported Chips, the AR242 series are all
supported by the the ath5k driver:

Thank you Jason. Nevertheless, will the same chipset will guarantee the
laptop will accept the card? I know it will work with Trisquel. But the
problem is that some of these cards are not accepted by the BIOS
whitelist. I do not know what it depends on to be included in the HP
whitelist.

If your laptop uses whitelisting (and I don't know if it does or not)
then there is no guarantee. If it does have a whitelist it probably
does it based on PCI ID, or at least that's how the ThinkPad does it.
What do you mean when it's "not recognized"? What happens? If you put
in such a card to do sudo lspci -vvv does it not show up or what?
If it does do whitelisting it's probably best to contact HP direct for
an "official" card.
Apparently it will not boot at all.

"There are ways around this by modifying either the Wifi card or the
BIOS." Is there documentation about this?

There's something under that thinkwiki link but I don't know more about it.

I found an update to the BIOS with the whitelist removed in
bios-mods.com . I tryed downloading FreeDOS to install it but it seems
that it requires Windows. Is there another way to update the BIOS with
this mod?

I am a member!
I think your going to run into problems with this laptop.
Also-I want to say that your going to be missing proper power management support with the ath5k cards. This is 2nd hand info as I haven't looked into it. However it comes from a reliable source. I'm not 100% sure though it is applicable to all the ath5k compatible cards or just some.
2nd while I think our mini pcie card won't work either it might be a better choice unless you can confirm the other card will work (is white listed):
https://www.thinkpenguin.com/gnu-linux/penguin-wireless-n-mini-pcie
I know you said you don't want to go with a USB wifi card. However I think it may be your only option. You can flash the BIOS on some ThinkPads to eliminate the white list issue. I wouldn't recommend it however. This is potentially dangerous and you could brick the system. I don't know of any HP systems where this is true. Unless your knowledgeable about doing these hacks it probably isn't an option.
