Wireless drivers from the Intel or AMD site. Then you get the rest of the drivers from HP for your notebook. I spent weeks

The DV6500T was ordered on 05/10/07, shipped on 05/17/07 from China, and delivered on 05/22/07. It was ordered from
$1447.95.
The specs are Intel Santa Rosa 2.0ghz (T7300 Processor), 2 gigs of memory, 120 gig 5400 RPM hard drive, 802.11n wir

Look at the box in picture 1, it was delivered from Shanghai China. What the box looks like when opened.
Here's the laptop and everything laid out. There is a protective cover over the keyboard.
