I have a older HP DV2000 (dv2317us) that the wireless card is dead. I got a spare laying around and need to have the wifi restriction removed.

Old Card (Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG) PCI ID
VEN_8086
DEV_4222
SUBSYS_135B103C
REV_02\4&84DF27F&0&00E3
New Card (Atheros AR5B91) PCI ID
VEN_168C
DEV_002A
SUBSYS_10671A3B
REV_01
I have attempted to do the removal myself but the guides I found online didn't match up to what I had when I extracted the BIOS with phoenix bios editor. Also the trick to booting up with wireless card removed then then carefully inserting the card while laptop is on works. But I would rather not do that all the time.
Thanks,
Danic
