    Hello everyone, especially the mod of this forum.

    I have tried hard but could not get any good results as my knowledge is very limited in BIOS programming, so I hope someone can help me remove the whitelist requirement from the bios...

    Today I discovered that the factory-installed WiFi adapter on my trusty, rock-solid HP laptop cannot be easily upgraded because the folks from HP decided to waste some valuable time of the engineers to hardcode the allowed adapters into the BIOS, which basically renders this otherwise perfect laptop into a device with an ancient wifi adapter and outdated Bluetooth spec as well.

    I have searched but could not find a whitelisted BIOS version for this specific model - would it be possible to help? This is the link in case someone with the expert knowledge would be so kind to help recompile the BIOS ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp85501-86000/sp85526.exe

    Thanks in advance
