Installed dual band wireless card, now it's giving me "wireless module not supported
The system has detected a wireless module installed in the system that is not supported. System halted. Please remove device and restart.
WLAN module id (702)"
This is on a Hp pavillion Dv-6178us.
I bought an Intel dual band wireles Ac7260hmw wifi card.
Anyone know how to make it work?

You probably can't make that combination work.

HP is one of the companies that programs their BIOS to whitelist only their own branded mini-PCIe cards, so you would actually need to find an HP-branded AC7260 card's option ROM and flash it to yours (if they ever sold one). Easier to just do as they want and buy an HP card, then consider another brand of laptop for next time.
