Error message "wireless module not supported 702"

[MissLiss]

I have a stock standard HP Probook 4530s that I've had since new, and all of a sudden in the last month it comes up with this error on bootup "This wireless module is not supported so has been disabled 702". I haven't changed a thing since I've owned this laptop so I'm using the wireless card HP put in. I can occcasionally get around it (restarting numerous times) but it's very frustrating, especially when I want to do something quickly and I have to plan the restart, disconnect the battery etc game. Is there a solution? I have been searching for a solution. From what I understand there's an error with the BIOS and the wireless card is not on the whitelist. Which is ridiculous given that this is what came with the laptop!!!

Any ideas or suggestions?

There is a BIOS update for your system dated March 2015 [F.60 Rev.A]

Even though it does not specifically address your problem, it may help, and HP "strongly recommends" the update.

Thankyou! I installed the update to the BIOS last night and so far so good! No error messages about the wireless module and seems to be running better overall. Your advice was MUCH appreciated - many thanks!
