The problem was the nomenclature. HP listed the hardware simply as "802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN." But the chip was a Ralink RT3090, masquerading under an HP part number. If Aris tried to force the stock Ralink driver, Windows 7 would reject the digital signature. If he tried the HP softpaq, the installer would check for a specific BIOS version that Sarah’s machine didn't have because she had flashed it months ago.
