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 systems that aren't implementing the restrictions probably. I believe Dell's Alienware line-up might not have the restrictions for instance- or it appeared that way to some user on these forums at some point.
