Replacing Wireless Card On Laptop

[237SJ]

If I replace the wireless card in my HP Pavilion laptop, are there any drivers involved or should it work straight away?

Quote (from a general article about replacing wireless cards):
"When you turn your laptop back on, it's possible that the operating system will already have the correct drivers for the card you just installed. Even if that's the case, we recommend that you check for the latest drivers from the manufacturer's Web site"

It would probably depend upon which make and model of card you chose to install. (i.e. your laptop will already have the drivers for some cards but possibly not for all of them).
