    @NacherasTM
    Today I forced myself to take a look at the file. Was skeptical at first.

    What worries me is that there are other devices in the function which are not related to removables. Should I modify the bios as usual and see what happens? Or should I consider replacing one of the device IDs for safety?

    I´m going to replace the 2200BG card with the TP-Link TL-WN861N one, so replace one of the devices IDs for safety.
    If you modify the BIOS as usual , is there any risk of bricking it??

    There always is.
    Faulty mod or a sudden power outage can brick your device. I didn't find any modded bios file for the laptop. You can consider my further attempts helping you as a process of trial and error.

    I'm going to look for the IDs of TL-WN861N. I'll contact you via private messages when mod file is completed.

    There is no known WLAN whitelist in the Dell Precision M4800.

    What error are you facing with the replacement card?

    "This device cannot start. Try upgrading the device drivers for this device. (Code 10)"

    If that's the error message, then it has nothing to do with BIOS whitelist. The BIOS did recognize the device, but it's the OS and/or driver having issues with the Wi-Fi functionality.

    What's the full hardware ID (including the SUBSYS and REV portions) of the card? Also, can you please fire up a live Linux distro and see if that card is working there or not?

    ;)Can the BIOS whitelist be removed on a ThinkPad P14s Gen 5 AMD to allow installing an SSD in the WWAN slot?

    Model: ThinkPad P14s Gen5 AMD (LENOVO 21MECTO1WW Mobile)
    BIOS Version: R2LET35W (1.16)

    Hello
    Could you help me to get a BIOS without whitelist to install a WIFI 6 WLAN card?
    I have two mini PCIe slots full and half size. Both show the not support Error.
    Maybe it is even possible to install SSD.

    Manufacturer: Lenovo
    Motherboard Model: W510 4389-W1B
    Bios revision: 1.45 6NET84WW
    Bios Type: is unknown to me
    Installed CPU: Core i7 Q720 1,6GHz
    Changed Display to HD
    OS: Linux Mint 22.2

    Do I have to find out exact card descriptions and do I have to install Windows for this purpose?

    Thanks in advance
