Yes it will work on the motherboard that you are using. So don't worry by the latest on and then install on the system of yours in this case it is a laptop and i an sure that it will not create any compatibility issues and will work smoothly. Installing the this card will not conflict with your motherboard in fact it will not give any problems on other motherboards also. so what you have to do in this case is just purchase a new on and then connect with the laptop of yours and later on you can use the same for usb connectivity and also for network connection.
