[Request] Acer Aspire E1-522 Whitelist removal (BIOS_Acer_2.09_A_A, RXBI0209)
#1
Hi!

I've decided to upgrade the WiFi card of my Acer Aspire E1-522, since it didn't support 5GHz net.
But, as you might have guessed, it isn't whitelisted (I have come here after searching WHY it won't work.)

Reading the info on how to make a request, aswell as searching if such has been made already, I wan't to make a request hereby.

Original BIOS from manufacturer:

http://global-download.acer.com/GDFiles/BIOS/BIOS/BIOS_Acer_2.09_A_A.zip?acerid=635362593601831915&Step1=NOTEBOOK&Step2=ASPIRE&Step3=ASPIRE%20E1-522&OS=ALL&LC=en&BC=ACER&SC=EMEA_24

In hopes of reaching the whitelist I have enabled the Hidden Menu, but I am not comfortable doing Hexediting (and it gives me problems, I cannot find the adress I need and EzHO2 is giving me error messages.) - that would indicate (no?) that it is not RSA signed, since it has not produced any errors when I've fiddled in BIOS after editing.

PCI ID of original device: PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_002B&CC_0280

edit: While testing, I noticed that the ASUS G73SW I also have, has whitelist aswell, does not want to use the card from the Acer, but it can use the new one I bought for it aswell. If anyone is interested, I could dump the BIOS from the ASUS G73SW aswell - it is edited to use hardware AES, which stock-BIOS cannot use, incase someone wants to use it?

Regards

Teazle
