I now have an Apple Wireless N 300M fully functional in my Compaq Presario. I can now, with confidence, edit bios whitelist and flash bios. say goodbye to "104-Unsupported wireless network device detected. System Halted. Remove device and restart".Thanks to the entire osx86 community for any help and tips.

If you need any help I am here for you. I intend writing a tutorial on how I done it. :(

 

p.s. I can do this within windows at the moment, I'll experiment with an OSX method.

Hi Zakaryya,

 

I want to say thank you for your help in modding my dv2000 bios (bios version f.39) to accept broadcom wifi card BCM94321. My laptop now shows Airport card and working without and modification. Even in vista, it shows as broadcom wireless n.

 

Again, thank for your effort and time helping me, especially on long night at 4 am.

 

I wish if you could spare some time to write instructions for others like me to get their HP laptops accept other wireless card.

Yes, any card, I guess. Well, if I can make a genuine apple card work then I assume it's possible. I have to polish my method and try to keep it simple. I'll try to include some screen shots also. ;)

Good evening...!:-) I too am hoping to change the wireless card in my Hp pavilion dv7.1130el but I know that it is pretty difficult as it has the Insyde bios N°F26. If you can give me any tips i would be very grateful, so i will be keeping an eye open on this thread.

Ciao!

Hi All, So far I have tried what I know(which is limited) on my Compaq F.1F bios and on a HP F.39 bios both with success. I found the latter considerably more difficult due to variations in the layout of the whitelist in the bios rom, I needed two attempts at it and spent hours trying to figure it out. :) This makes writing a universal guide a bit harder. In the meantime,if you want me to help by providing a modified bios then you can PM with details of existing wireless card and the new card. The info I'll need is the VEN_ ,DEV_ and SUBSYS_ id's. and bios version. To enable you to obtain exact info on your new card this is how to avoid the 104 error...

 

1. Remove existing wireless card from laptop, leave the access cover off.

2. Boot laptop and enter boot selection screen.

3. Install new card (whilst laptop is running), no need connect antenna wires.

4. Boot into windows and new card will appear as unknown device.

5. Now you can obtain exact ven, dev & subsys id's from device properties

 

If you aren't up to editing your own bios then I can do it for you. :unsure:

Laptop: HP DV2675EO

Latest BIOS: F.2E (ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp41501-42000/sp41959.exe )

 

my New card is bcm 4311 with the device ID:PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4312&SUBSYS_046614E4&REV_01

my Old card is intel 3945 with the device ID:PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_4222&SUBSYS_135D103C&REV_02

 

Please help me with that. If possible can you make it compatible with any wireless device?
