Did install osx on my laptop and since the original wifi card was unsuported i did buy a new pcie card:
BCM94322MC (Apple macbook wifi card) since that card should work out of the box.
After changing wifi card and tryed to boot computer is got this nice message
After searching this error on google i did found out that HP have a whitelist in bios.
To be able to use the new wifi card i have to edit bios and replace one of the working card id's
with the id of my new card.
Only one problem, i did't know what hardware id my card did have.
1) Hotswaping card.......
I did remove harddrive and did tape it on the bottom of the computer, to be able to reach wifi card
placed bellow hardrive.
