JakeGub Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Hi all, I am getting ready to try reflashing my HPs bios so I can use the Dell 1390 card in my laptop. I am getting a 104-Unsupported wireless device error on bootup because of a hardware whitelist. I am hoping to replace one of the "approved" wireless devices with the dev ID, vendor ID, etc of the dell 1390, but since I can't boot into any OS i can't get the IDs. If you have a Dell 1390 would you mind posting some hardware IDs here? My particular card says the following DW 1390 REV A01 MAC: 0016CE27D550 Broadcom BCM4311KFBG (on the IC) BCM94311MCG (Written on the PCB) Thanks and start posting plz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeGub Posted September 22, 2006 Author Share Posted September 22, 2006 Alright, my friend convinced me that it would be better to try flashing the eeprom on the 15 dollar Broadcom PCI-e card than to flash the BIOS on my 1000 dollar laptop. Smart guy. Now does anyone know how to go about flashing the eeprom for the purpose of making the dev id and vendor id match that of the 3945abg card my bios searches for? HP is being no help at all. Imagine that and by the way i told them there is no linux support for the chip, not that I'm trying to install OSX on the thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammjet Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 making the dev id and vendor id match that of the 3945abg card my bios searches for? Doing that may fool the bios, but it will also fool OSX into thinking it is a 3945 card and it still won't find any drivers for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
