Default Need W10 driver for Wireless Card

I have a HP HP Pavilion p6_2026 Desktop PC and wanted to add a
wireless PCI card to it. I bought 'HP 502300-001 Desktop Dual Band
WLAN PCIe x1 Wireless Wi-Fi Card W/Anttena' on Ebay, and now I need
the driver for it. I not only cannot find same, but when I try, all
all I can get are vendors who want me to buy their 'drive updaters'.

Before I give up, does anyone know a source for the driver I need for
this adapter that will work in Windows 10?

Thanks

Have you tried installing it and booting up to see if Windows can
locate the driver. Entering the part number on the HP site seems to
indicate it's an Intel product so it's possible Windows already has the
driver especially as HP say that a driver is not available from their
site.


I got no driver with the card. I found somewhere a driver called
'Atheros Wireless Lan Driver' and got:
Your system does not meet the operating system requirements.
Update has been cancelled (9998).
Windows did not offer to find another.
The hP download site said there were too many possibilities to provide
a list of possible drivers. Cool. I cannot find another driver to
download.

It did provide a list of systems that contained the card though and I went
through a few of them until I found:

I selected windows 10 64 bit to get there.

http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/...A0AQC11TA930C7


on the Driver-Network section the last one is a Realtek
driver, try that.

Alternatively wotk through the list until you find one.

http://partsurfer.hp.com/Search.aspx...ext=502300-001
has 134 items that contain the part. Select each one to find out
it's product number and then go to
http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers
and search for the product.

The best I could find, is a Windows 8 driver for the 9280.

https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Gemtek_WPEA-113N

The hardware (Atheros single chip AR9280) appears to have been released in 2010.
This should yield a PDF file.

https://www.atheros-drivers.com/qual...code-4653.html

It's hard to believe it is out of support already. This claims to be
a Win8 driver, but it might actually be based on older content.

win81-10.0.0.329-whql.zip 2,535,899 bytes

https://www.atheros-drivers.com/qual...code-4655.html

Qualcomm bought Atheros. And Qualcomm does not deliver
drivers to end-users.

Give the contents of that ZIP a try. Unzip the files into
a folder. Using Device Manager, pretend to update the device,
and point it at the INF files, and see if Device Manager
is "interested" in the two INF files. I don't know why
there are two INFs, so you may end up trying them one
at a time. While they could be "layers" to the protocol
stack, I can't tell by looking at the INF files.
