Background:Purchased HP laptop, but wanted to use Atheros-based Mini-PCI-E card (GN-WS50G-RH), not Intel. The HP dv9920us is dual-boot with Ubuntu and WIn Vista. I was using the
janky method of booting the HP Laptop with the Intel card, pausing the
system at my bootloader menu (GRUB), swapping the Intel card for the Atheros
card, then continuing boot Ubuntu. This just got annoying and the Intel
card continually disconnected and reconnected from the AP so frequently
it was unusable. I tried several suggested solutions regarding the Broadcom drivers which did not work. Helpful References:
