I would look up the model product number of the notebook (it's printed
on the back, not the nx9010 but the longer more specific one), then
search for that on HP's website, and look up a compatible wireless card.

My HP nx6125 (Product: PY416EA#ABB) shipped with a Broadcom card, which
was a bit unstable initially (although ndiswrapper has improved greatly
since), and I decided to get an Intel card.  When I put it in, the
notebook wouln't even post - just comes up with an error saying
something to the effect of: "unsupported wireless device detected,
please remove."  And that's as far as it goes.
