    Hi,

    I bought an NX8220 the otherday and I want to replace the Intel 2200 minipci wlan adapter with my atheros based netgear wg311t 108 mbit adapter. It seems that HP has a whitelist just like IBM where it allows just certain inipci adapters.

    With my previous laptop, an IBM X31, i used a bios hack to disable this check. Does anyone know if there is such a hack for HP? If not maybe we could do a joined effort to resolve this. To begin with, what type of bios does HP use? Is it Phoenix? I guess the first step is to exctract the current bios.

    If anyone has any further info, I'd appreciate to find out.
