C500 bios whitelist removal/update request

[jackhandy1]

I have two C500 series Compaq Presario laptops. Both take the same F.25 bios.

It's the same bios as the G5000 laptop as well......

sp37633.exe is the softpaq.

ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp37501-38000/sp37633.exe

I bought an Atheros AR5Bx86 WLAN card and the bios is not letting me install it.

I need a bios that has had the WIFI adapter whitelist removed (or perhaps updated to allow my PCI-E WLAN cards)

This has been done before according to the references to "HP G5000_Compaq_C500_sp37633_F25_SLP_SLIC21_no_whitelist.zip" on the site but the download is no longer there (suck!)

sure seems easier than hacking a bios!

nudge - could really use some help here !! The completed machine is supposed to be a christmas present, but I can't get wireless to work because of the stupid whitelist in the BIOS!! Please help.
