I replaced the wireless card at my noteboook. When I reboot, I get the error message:
Wireless module not supported.
WLAN Module ID (702).
The data related to my notebook are the following:

The wireless card installed by me is as follows: Intel dual band wireless AC 7260.

Your model is subject to the HP whitelist implemented in the BIOS. The laptop will not boot with an unsupported wireless adapter installed. This is well documented on the internet just google HP wifi whitelist. There is no easy or good workaround and all the wireless cards supported on that age of laptop are going to be obsolete.

How do I know which Wi-Fi cards are compatible?

Intel Wi-Fi Link 5100 802.11a/b/g WLAN module for use in all countries and regions 482957-001

Intel Wi-Fi Link 5100 802.11a/b/g/n WLAN module for use in all countries and regions 480985-001

Broadcom 4322 802.11a/b/g/n WLAN module for use in Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Belize, Canada, the Cayman Islands, Guam, Puerto Rico, Trinidad and Tobago, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the United States 504664-001

And looking at this list the Intel WiFi Link 5100 802.11a/b/g/n would operate in the 5 ghz band but possibly only in 802.11a mode.

Also true of the Broadcom:

In fact all 3 of these cards can connect to an 802.11a 5ghz router.
