    Hello, I don't know if it has been requested before but I need your help.

    I have a HP Pavilion DV6 3046sa with Insyde Bios version F.29 (latest official version available from HP support webpage).

    I wanted to upgrade my WiFi card and found out that is not supported by the laptop (as I understand due to 'whitelist' that HP uses).
    the other problem I have is that I got rid of Windows from my laptop as I started using Linux (Solus OS 4.1 to exact) but I don't know how to find out all the details you need to be given in order to try and help.

    Ideally I would like to remove the bios whitelist for WiFi card and maybe to select only one of the graphic cards to work all times (there is Radeon HD 4250 & 5470).

    If somebody can help that will be great, as the laptop (although quite old) with Linux has still a lot to give (as I don't play games anyway) and I would like to take advantage from a higher WiFi connection.

    thanks in advance

    Hey, I'm looking to revive an old laptop and need to swap the wifi card, does anyone have a copy of a file already shared here more than a decade ago? o_O
