[REQUEST] DELL INSPIRON 3147 Whitelist Removal / INTEL N 7260 OR BIOS PROBLEM?

[camilo89]

Hello,

I would like to ask for help, because I've tried everything with my wifi card, googled what i could have googled,  I installed sevral drivers (all resulted code 10). Tried to change EEPROM of my Intel wifi card (to switch (1)VEN and (2)SUBSYS values  (1) b2=>b1; (2) c2=>c4) and I couldn't manage to do so (EEPROM operation not supported or something like that even to read, not to say read&write). 

I thought that bios\efi may be good point to make this card work - here I was stuck on trying to do the dump, the current (DELL Insyde A10 BIOS\EFI) to possibly when something goes wrong, to restore the previous bios.

I found the file testback.exe on forum and did some dump, it came with an error 201. I kept the file result.rar I do not know if it;s correct. Tried to open it with winhex... no luck. And ealier I tried to extract update file (3147A10) and came with some files, but it doesn't look like correct one (fd, rom, bin etc.) When trying to reflashing bios it created some temp files, i compared files with those i extracted with 7z, it was additional bin file, but it seems to be  flash utility (isflash.bin).

My problem is that to run the card Intel Wireless-N 7260 on a laptop DELL Inspiron 3147th From what I realized after the purchase, the card comes with Lenovo and doesn't work with other manufactures (vendors?).

I assume that the problem is caused by the whitelist, because the card works on Ubuntu 16.04 and Windows 10 comes with error 10 and installing different drivers doesnt change anything (I tried on wins 8, 8.1 since my laptop can run win8 and newer)

Would anyone like to help me to make this card start on windows?
1. Any idea , Bios-mod or  eeprom mod...?
2. Whitelist removal or addition of PCI VEN subsys REV to my  BIOS/EFI or something?
3. Does DELL have the whitelist?


My OEM card is:
PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_0036&SUBSYS_020E1028&REV_01
The card i want to work on my computer is:
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_08B2&SUBSYS_C2628086&REV_C3

I attach my result file, other files mentioned and some screenshots.
