Laptop Notes
BIOS Whitelists
This laptop has BIOS whitelists for both Mini PCIe slots!
It is not possible to:
- install any WLAN card into the WWAN slot
- install an “unknown” WLAN card into the WLAN slot
However, the Intel WLAN cards shipped by HP are not branded, so it should be possible to install “normal” Centrino Advanced-N 6205 or 6300 cards. (Confirmed PCI ID for 6205: [8086:0085] (rev 34), subsystem [8086:1311])
Atheros cards do seem to be checked against HP-specific subsystem IDs, this is not verified however.
The whitelist, as of BIOS rev F.04, reads: (note the “HP brand” indicator)

Note that the BIOS seems to be verified against a RSA signature on boot, so a removal of this whitelist is not likely possible.
