Overview

This module would appear to have the following HP part numbers..

  • P/N: 495848-001, SPS# 518437-001
    • 802.11A/B/G/N WLAN HF minicard (MD2020)
    • Most of World implementation (FCC)
  • P/N: 495848-002, SPS# 518437-002
    • 802.11abgn WLAN HFminicard 2x2 MD ROW
    • Rest of World implementation (non-FCC)
  • P/N: 495848-003, SPS# 580102-001
    • 802.11A/B/G/N WLAN HLFre minicard (MD20)
    • has an FCC region regulatory label
    • seems to have been used in some DV6Z series notebooks

The following seems to be silkscreened on various cards..

  • "WN6502AH-H1 V01" and "323C16157197" (both on the back and covered by the reg. label, see below pictures) on V1 units (which look to include at least some, if not all, HP 495848-001 and 495848-002 cards)
  • "WN6502AH-H1 V03" and "323C1615739D" (both on the front by the mPCIe connector edge, uncovered) on V3 units (which look to include at least some, if not all, HP 495848-003 cards)

The FCC ID of this device appears to be PPD-AR5BHB92-H.. which has a change of identification to PPD-AR5BHB92.
