ok i finally got this worked out,

edited .... the HP DV2-****** series of laptops
edited .... hopefully this info will be of some help to others who want to mod their HP DV2-****** series laptops to use wireless cards (and mobile broadband cards) that are not on the HP whitelist

edited .... download the bios from the post above this (it is already slic2.1 modified) extract the 3054F27_SLIC.ROM

edited .... as for the whitelist hack as my new card was an atheros with the dev:ven id of 16:8C 00:2B i only needed to modify the subsys id,
edited .... so i modified the 3C:10:3F:30 in both sections of the highlighted code in the picture in the first post to match my new subsys id, saved it, built the new bios and flashed it with winflash,

edited .... and it worked perfectly first time, i am posting this from my new atheros wireless N card
Click to expand...

Is it possible to completely remove the whitelist check in the DV2-10XX, since you were able to hack the bios?
I would also like to upgrade my DV2-1039WM to wireless N (It's been successfully SLIC 2.1'd with the latest bios available in the forum.)
