Pavilion dv7 6b57nr wifi card upgrade

[Drakus666]

I've been searching all over the hp site, and  the internet itself. I  can not seem to find a WiFi Card to fit my notebook. It is on the whitelist. Meaning of course that that cuts the number down dramatically. I can go with a USB style, but I don't really want to. Different forums have different answers (part #'s) even hp's site . Has anyone else found a solution for this? Dv7 6b57nr 

Thanks!
