Found the Manual:
You are stuck with the technology that existed when the laptop was made. "G" wireless @54 speed was the best available. There is a 407160-001 a/b/g card that will work in the 5g band in addition to the 2.4 band but really no faster.
Bluetooth was a separate module back then which you plug into the motherboard:
Bluetooth module (includes Bluetooth module cable) 412766-001
Post back with any more questions and please accept as solution if this is the info you needed.

No you are going to have a whitelist issue with a laptop from that era. Any wifi card that is not HP logoed and a model listed in the Service Manual will block the computer from booting. This model is so old that HP no longer has the Manual available to find easily.
