I recently purchased the DV6-6B25TX and installed WINDOWS 7 64 bit OS onto the machine.
On the HP site i am able to find all the drivers except the WLAN and Bluetooth drivers.
The drivers available on the website are for INTEL/RALINK hardware but the hardware in my machine seems to be of Broadcom.
So can you please provide me the links to the correct drivers for the WLAN and Bluetooth for my laptop ?
Solved! Go to Solution.
