Hi,

Thanks for your work, but sadly it didn't work for me. I could flash the BIOS, but after that the Notebook shut off after POST screens. I load the Bios default Settings and all works fine. Than I change to the Intel Wifi Link 1000 Card and also got the Error Messages to check my wifi card and the Notebook stop booting.

could you please check the BIOS again? Could I send you more information to help?
Best regards.

What is the error message?

[Easton]

the Messages are:

ERROR
Error! Not support wireless LAN in system.
Please turn oft system and check your wireless LAN device.

I also test it with the Intel 4965 card.

hmmmm, it's strange, i'm sure i removed whitelist check.

Anyway, i made another try from scratch, so delete old file and test new one.

[Easton]

I'm afraid, but didn't work :-(
I got again that Error message above and I only could Power off...

Something thats seems not normal after flashing the Notebook reboot, go on and go off than it goes on and Boot normally.

I upload the logfile from the flashprogram, perhaps it could help ?

Hi, I check the label of the original WLAN-card.

There was named another model.

It was named as ANATEL ATH-AR5B95 or small as Atheros AR5B95. There were also many other IDs could it help if I write all information down or uploading an photo?

Edit:
Could you change the Whitelist-ID to the following?
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0083&SUBSYS_13058086&REV_00

Edit - 2:
I change the Whitelist Hardware-IDs by my self and it works fine! :-)

Is to remove the whitelist also easy ? could someone shortly tell me howto?

[camiloml]

For removing the whitelist you need to hexedit a file too, but you need before to disassemble it and look for the code that checks that IDs on the list then figure out how to modify it to always return like if a value in that list matched.

That's quite different exchanging an ID to be recognised and completely remove whitelist checks. But hey! try and if you manage to do it help me with requests in this section

[Easton]

What a pitty, I thought I have only to fill the ids with 0 or F ...
Okay... What program did you use for disassemble? w32dasm89 ?
