Nightmare HP wireless driver

The HP site is usually pretty reliable for hosting the correct drivers, but in at least one instance, they dropped the ball BIG TIME!! The Pavilion dv7-1261wm has a Broadcom wireless driver posted on the HP support page. However, the laptop DOES NOT have a Broadcom chip, it has an Atheros chip (the AR5009 to be axact), and the drivers from Atheros do not work. As I researched this driver, I came to realize that there are MANY different HP laptops using this Atheros chip, but HP keeps throwing the Broadcom drivers at people, which do not work, and there's a lot of POed folks out there... BUT.... I found the correct driver at HP listed under a different model. The download is SP42654 and can be downloaded here:

The drivers are Vista only, 64bit is supported, and they should be OK for Win7 too....

So if you have a problem getting a wifi driver working with Vista in your HP laptop, and HP is telling you that the driver is a Broadcom, try this driver....
