    Hello guys,
    I'd like to install a new network card in my laptop (HP 240 G3) but turns out there's a whitelist on the BIOS :mad:. The bios itself is an Insyde, version F.32. I have the Qualcomm Atheros AR9485 currently. So two questions... Can anyone please help me in "unlocking" the bios, and could I put any physically compatible (i.e. half-size) cards in my laptop if the whitelist were removed? Thanks in advance, and pleas excuse any ignorant statements!

    EDIT: I forgot to add that I can disable network card boot in the bios. Does this mean I can put any card without the computer refusing to boot?

    My bad, looks like my campus network is blocking Sendspace. Worked perfectly on Compaq Presario C752TU which came with SLIC 2.0.
