I aquired an hp elitebook 6930p with a intel 5300 wireless card. Pulled the
cmos battery to attempt to reset the bios password, but its written to the
bios. I had put windows 7 on there and it asked me for my wireless pass
during install. Installed updates and rebooted and now wifi is broken. Says
its turned off, in both win7 and linux. The little wifi touch button doesnt
change colors, but the other media buttons work for the most part. Thats
about the only place i see to turn the wifi on and off. I tried messy with
the settings and still no wifi. Tried installing both windows 7 and 9.10
again, still broken. I did put an older intel 5100 in there and it said it
wasnt compatible. I even tried moving the card to the other mini pci slot,
no joy doesnt seem to recongize that extra slot. I might try and put the
5300 in my asus laptop with a live cd and see if the card is dead. Im sorta
stuck on where to go from here
