Re: [Trisquel-users] Might this (making libre-driver-compatble card pass whitelist check) be a great way to workaround Wi-Fi Whitelists?

Wow, that is an interesting idea. Instead of finding a way to hack the BIOS,  
just find a way to make the WIFI card tell the BIOS that it's a white listed  
one, if I'm not misunderstanding the article.

Modifying a laptop to accept cards other than the ones it was programmed by  
its manufacturer to accept is a bit of a hopeless cause (save for some  
computers, including pre-Haswell Thinkpads).


Sowhat about modifying the card to pass under the whitelist check  
instead? (Surely there's someway to make the methods in these pages work with  
only free software and universally on many wi-fi cards?)
