Guest Fubulg Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Hey everyone! I've been trying to get this Intel 5300 to work on my intel motherboard (DG45ID) with an adapter from hwtools. I've been searching high and low and can't find a workaround or a solution to get this wirless adapter to work on the motherboard. Does anyone here have experience with getting this device to work on non intel hardware, or on laptops that lack compatibility. I'd appreciate any help! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest fubulg Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 I realized I purchased the wrong wireless adapter. I accidentally purchased the model specific to HP and IBM laptops. Is there a method to reflash firmware on wireless adapters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HP is particular bad for having WLAN whitelisted cards. Your Intel card should work in any machine. Chances are all Notebooks support Intel WLAN cards as they need to get the "centrino inside" logo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
