I learned the hard way that some laptops use variations of this card even though the basic model is the same as called for. My laptop does not recognize the standard pin configuration and needs alterations to work, something I didn't feel was worth messing with.

Some use a PCIe form factor card but have a slot integrated USB port as the bus instead of PCIe.

I've heard HP & Lenovo (and probably some others) use whitelists (probably to save FCC licensing money) that prevent most aftermarket radios like these.
So the answer to Spartan805 is probably No.

HP owes the FCC nothing if a customer opts to switch the wifi card with a 3rd party card. FCC submission obligation falls on the 3rd party card maker (or commissioner if they contract another company to make it)
