=====================================

This is basically a ProBook 4410s with a different chipset (GL40) compared to a GM45 in the 4410s, a Celeron, a 2GB SATA SSD, and loaded with Embedded Std. 2009. I acquired one of these for $90, dropped in a T8100 as well as a 160GB hard drive. it's running Linux nicely, except...

It has a whitelist. I tried to swap out the Broadcom 43224 card for a Realtek 8188CE I had lying around and it told me that it had an unsupported Wireless device, shut down remove and restart. So I'm hoping someone can de-whitelist this so that I may have freedom to use what wireless cards I want to in this on-the-cheap laptop.

I've attached the older of the two BIOSes available for this laptop, because the second one does nothing, just adds in the secure update nonsense. Inside the Zip is the folder that extracts to C:\swsetup as well as the contents of the BIOS.CAB file, a-la Universal Extractor.

A link to the page of origin: HPQFlash for HP Notebook System BIOS - Microsoft Windows-Based

Thanks so much in advance.

Bumping, because I'm still looking for this.

I have a Centrino 1000 lined up to drop in this. I figure it'll be better for Linux than the AR9285 or RTL8188CE I have since it's N300 and also since iwlwifi module supports it 100% completely.

Bumping again. Friend of mine in Colorado now has two of these laptops, is selling one, and keeping the other. wants to upgrade the wireless card in his to a Centrino 1000 as well.
