One last thing i wondered, (unrelated to wifi card but,)
What would be a good solid state drive for this device. I want a solid state
due to three things, it doesn't break nearly as easily, it does not overheat
as quickly and distributes the heat more, but also it drains less battery
I think you don't understand the problem. The white list is the problem. Your
HP might have had an Atheros chip in its white list, but most don't. You got
lucky it sounds like. The reality is this practice almost always causes a
problem for people moving to free software. You can point to
I removed Ralink RT3290 wifi half-sized pcie card. With it I couldn't boot
Trisquel. For boot I had to remove the Ralink wifi cadr, and use laptop
wired. I don't want to protect HP, they don't respect any user's freedom,
this is a simple information. I don't know if my HP have a whitelist.
X60 Tablet is an old model which is compatible with libreboot according to
the the libreboot francis rowe.
And yea, I do intend flashing libreboot. isn't it obvious? xD

Wellm, Chris did say that just in case.
Anyway, to repeat what he said, you need a full-sized mini-PCIe card.

well okay thanks. :) but tell me, is there no wpa2 compatible atheros wifi
card that would be compatible?
Some HP laptops have whitelist for their own pcie wifi cards, I have a i7
third generation laptop from HP, and I tryed 2 mini pcie wifi Atheros card
and both working.
would this one be compatible with libreboot X60 Tablet?

I am just wondering what is the best wifi card for such a tablet to have.
(needs to be half height though I think.)
No,
I don't believe so anyway. It looks like you need a full height mini pcie
card for that model:

If you haven't free'd the BIOS on this system though it probably won't work.
It may or may not be possible to flash
Ha! I bought two of those on ebay for 15 euros months ago. One is spare. :P
So does
