wireless notebook card help for hp pavilion?

Question

i have a pavilion dv9000t are there any wireless cards at all that will work with this weird card socket that this notebook has?

Answer 1

Yes, all the cards will pretty much work, because they have software for you to be able to use the card. Just make sure you get the right kind of card. i believe laptop slots are PCMI .... NOT PCI.

Answer 2

Yeah the last answer was from someone who typically does not have a clue.

In looking at the systems specs. The notebook should have onboard wireless.

The expansion port is a type 3 connector which is typically for devices such as an external floppy drive, but not necessarily a wireless Ethernet adapter.

Look at the user manual online for info on the wireless capabilities:

Added Note: Jason (in relation to your second post)

All home use wireless adapters will have around the same range. What you need is a range extender.

Answer 3

Mr. Michael has no idea what he is talking about when he says pretty much all cards will work. the dv9000 has a socket that only takes cards that look like this

Answer 4

Your notebook already has wireless built into it but the time of pc card you are looking for is an Express Card slot
