I purchased the Penguin Wireless N USB Adapter (TPE-N150USB) from
ThinkPenguin and it worked for me without any issue.
I had to do this because my Lenovo Ideapad Y400 restricted the replacement of
the Intel Centrino-N 2230 and I didn't want to mess with all the whitelisting
mess.

Anyway what your exact model of laptop?
In the past week I've had TWO discussions with important people about money
and getting real jobs. It's disgusting. This shouldn't be the case. And
then what makes it worse is the people who are determined to make things
happen have to fight over the scraps.
We're the ones who worked upstream to get the code released for the firmware
for this chipset. It's ingenious to say you can get the same thing elsewhere
or someone else was responsible for manufacturing. That's true of *every*
wifi adapter on the market.
There are other adapters with the

I suspect HP probably had the cards whitelisted in the BIOS for the cards you
bought, but it might be that specific model or BIOS didn't have the
whitelist. There might be a different BIOS for different revisions sold in
different parts of the world too actually. I can say the recent HP

I don't know, but HP started implementing the restrictions within the last
handful of years. The older ones I don't believe had the restriction anyway.
It could be though too that HP had multiple cards that were white listed.
It's not normally the situation in my experience that you'll
Probably you're right.
In most cases your giving people a false sense of hope. There are technically
a few ways to do it *possibly*, but they are all tricky, unreliable,
difficult, etc. There are risks to destroying hardware be it the wifi card or
the whole system (ie flash with a bad BIOS, etc). It's just a

Yes, you right. You don't know if this model of HP laptop have whitelist for

I bought 2 mini pcie card, one used, other one new.

Very probably you brick your hardware.
THE BEST solution, is to select intelligently your future hardware, because
free software unfriendly hardware is trash for us, and useless.

Not always! I have a HP pavilion, i7 bought 1 year ago. It had a no Atheros

or not.

Thanks to Broadcom for not playing ball you're going to have to acquire

No free firmware for that wifi chip exists. I would recommend getting a

ThinkPenguin and Tehnoetic, which are guaranteed to work with free
drivers/firmware. You can also buy one elsewhere if you are sure of the
I have installed Trisquel Mini in my HP Netbook. But it does not detect Wifi

The most likely cause of this is that your wireless card requires non-free
software. To find out what wireless card you have, can you open the terminal
(which can be found in the main menu) and run the command lspci (without
the quotes)? Post the output here.
lspci | grep Network
