I am trying to find a replacement for an HP DV5-1150us mini PCIE card for a family member. It came with the Intel Wifi 5100 installed.
Other notebooks on the same network operate fine, but this one does not. I have tried all software routes (Clean Instal of Vista and then SP2 with most recent drivers included) to try to get it to work.
I have tried other routers, and checked the card itself to make sure that it is seated properly and the antenna connections are good. It diplays excellent signal strength when it connects but it drops connection very frequently.
It also creates a new network connection with the same name and appends an increasing number to it. As in network X 1, network X 2, etc. up to at least 12.
I am comfortable doing the replacement, I just need a recommended card and source. I could not find any at the Egg.
FYI the Dell 1515 I have in a Studio XPS 13 (Vista) works just fine, as well as an older Compaq v2312us (XP) with a broadcom B/G work fine that my sister uses.

(that is the going price of these cards on eBay).
