HP's specs don't say what the wifi chip is, but if I try to download a Windows driver they say it's for 'Qualcomm Atheros QCA9000'. So the current version of the Linux ath9k driver will probably support this. If not, we'll need 'lspci' output to identify exactly what the chip is. At this point I doubt we're going to backport any wireless drivers to wheezy.
