Newbie - PCI express wifi adapter compatibility
-
The supported Atheros PCI, PCMCIA, Cardbus and PCI Express cards all support AP mode. Check in the FreeBSD man page for ath (driver for Atheros PCI etc WiFi cards).

Yes, I'm using it in AP mode

I'm going to give the card (AR5007EG) a shot in AP mode in my HP laptop Tuesday when it arrives. Will let everyone know Wednesday how it went.

It's a no Go for my HP EliteBook 8530p Notebook and Atheros Wireless WIFI Card AR5BXB63H
The particulate card I purchased is a OEM HP part for dv5 dv6 dv7 C700. Maybe a Non OEM part would work ???System refuses to boot with this card ….. Bios tells me to remove the unsupported card.
Smells like the same Corporate BS of bios only booting with hardware that HP is payed to support!

Sorry to hear that, at least it was only a $2.64 experiment.
I found this for you to remove the HP WIFI whitelist but sadly, again, there is no BIOS mod for a HP 8530p.

Actually, read this thread, second post down says the 8530w uses the same BIOS as 8530p and that there is a whitelist removal BIOS for it. Maybe you can get this to work if you do some reading.

Thanks ohel ….. I was planning on looking around to see if I could find a modded bios.
It really ticks me off when a manufacture cock blocks Your hardware!
How much longer before all freedoms are eradicated?

It seems Bios F.20 was a HP Trap!
For the time being the word is it would require a system board swapped out (warranty call with hopefully an older bios on the replacement), or remove the bios chip and get it programmed with an older BIOS so you can flash what ever you wish… EXCEPT F.20!!!
Eventually someone will break it down in the future......until than ...... I'm Trapped ...... It's a horrid feeling knowing your hardware has been Cock Blocked by a Dick (HP)

It seem as though someone has worked on the F.20 bios

I've searched around and it seem as though sovem shoots the OEM's between the Eyes!
