Before I start... general advice, please?

Hi.  I see that if I'm going to try modding my bios that i have a lot of reading to do.


Before I delve in, I hope I can just post what I'm hoping to do and someone skilled in this can tell me if I'm barking up the wrong tree.

I have a laptop from 2011.  It is an HP DV6-6130CA.  It uses Insyde firmware.  I can't find anything specific to this model.

I bought a WLAN module to replace the one that crapped out but of course HP has locked it out so I want to whitelist.

Am I heading down the right track?  Or is this futile (due to the obscure model, or how old it is, or?)?

Thanks.
