    Hi All. I tried upgrading my wifi card in my 2010 Envy 14" to an Intel AC card only to get a BIOS error message that the card is not supported. Doing a search online there appears to be a whitelist of allowable cards in the BIOS. I've also come across custom BIOSs for other laptops which have had the whitelist removed.

    Is there a modified BIOS for this model which removes the whitelist and will enable to use of this card? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
