Hi:

 

Unfortunately, there aren't any.

 

There is a BIOS whitelist in all dv6/7 model series until the dv6/7-7xxx series came out.

 

A BIOS whitelist prevents the notebook from booting up when an unsupported wifi adapter is installed.

 

The dual band wifi adapters such as the Intel 6230 you see listed in the service manual don't work, and they even have the incorrect part numbers on them.

 

If you want dual band wifi capability, you will need to purchase an external dual band wifi adapter.

 

They used to be pretty cumbersome and stick out pretty far from the usb port, but now they make the nano size ones that hardly stick out from the USB port at all.    Such as this one...

Thanks. I'll have to shop around as the reviews for that one aren't very good.
