HP Recommended
Product: DV7-7012
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

Have a working DV7 7xxx laptop, have just purchased Broadcomm/Atheros AR5B22 networking card to support 5 GHz Wifi.
Windows 7 can't find drivers because Ethernet not functioning...chicken/egg issue.
Looked in forums and supposedly SP54972 has drivers...the package installs, but nothing works.  Can't find any commodity drivers that do anything in first two pages of Google results...

This card evidently was supported on some HP models.
Anybody know what driver pack would work???
