[REQUEST] Zotac ZBOX ID81 Whitelist? (BIOS 2K120627)

[Gaudi]

Hi, I have recently upgraded the Mini PCIe network card of my Zbox ID81.

Intel Centrino Wireless-N 130 (Original Card):
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0896&SUBSYS_50058086&REV_34
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0896&SUBSYS_50058086
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0896&CC_028000
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0896&CC_0280


Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 (Replacement Card):
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_4238&SUBSYS_11118086&REV_35
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_4238&SUBSYS_11118086
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_4238&CC_028000
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_4238&CC_0280

The problem is that even though the driver is installed, it won't start. Windows will give an Error Code 10.

I have searched the net and found that it may be related to a Whitelist in the BIOS.

Please find attached the BIOS.

Would you mind checking if it actually has a Whitelist and if so remove it?

It may also be a defective card.


Many thanks!

My wrong, apparently this has to do with the card itself having a PCI ID that locks it to certain manufacturers equipment.
The card works perfectly fine in Linux.
Have found some info on how to fix this rewriting the card EEPROM with a special program in Linux.
Will check later as the ROM in this card might be a one time programable only.

Thanks
